- De Niro is the pick, as a favorite De Niro performance ever; his performances are ranked with Midnight Run as 1A and Jimmy Conway 1B, Godfather 2 third for building a character on what young Brando's interpretation would have been, Heat fourth and Raging Bull fifth; a recent Deer Hunter rewatch is called a tough hang but incredible, and John Kazal (as transcribed) only made the four best movies of all time.
- De Niro wins, with honorable mention for Grodin (transcribed 'Gerdin'), all the that-guy performers, a case for Danny Elfman, and Martin Brest; the result is affirmed twice.
