  • The first bookstore encounter combines flirtation with the shoplifter, Rufus autograph and Anna’s abrasive comic manner.
  • The Horse and Hound press junket is nominated.
  • Honey’s birthday dinner and the contest over who most deserves the brownie are nominated.
  • Dinner-party matchmaking without Anna, including Emily Mortimer, culminates in a touching, supportive conversation among friends.
  • The couple’s day running lines and eating ice cream includes the Mel Gibson body-double joke; its isolation also foreshadows the press intrusion.
  • The famous Just a Girl speech is acknowledged, although the earlier bookstore encounter is preferred.
  • The final press conference is nominated alongside the dinner party and earlier junket.
  • The junket’s pace, restraint and shifts between public and private Anna reveal the character; its media mechanics feel accurate and Mischa Barton appears.
  • One initial choice is the junket, but the final exchange agrees on the first bookstore encounter for its tone, coarseness and one-liners.
