- Hoffman is framed as hard not to say, because viewers leave rooting for him having won his son, unaware of the on-set conduct.
- Hoffman is conceded as the obvious answer, but over the years Streep is picked because the film falls apart if her character does not work.
- The same case is made for Billy, since a bad child performance would sink the film.
- Streep's case is supported: she had little film work before, appeared in only about five scenes and was excellent in all of them.
