  • Candidates in a fertile category include Gabrielle Union early and a Chick Hearn cameo; Alfre Woodard is probably ineligible with too many scenes.
  • The first nominee is Sidra, strong in about four scenes and perhaps also worthy of That Guy.
  • Gabrielle Union's first-scene line about licking the sweat off Q is recalled as a running tease between friends.
  • Charles O'Bannon and Terry Cummings as the bartender are noted as sneaked-in cameos.
