- The first answers given are Lopez and Soderberg.
- Soderberg won because people thought he was a flash in the pan who couldn't make a commercial movie; without it he doesn't get Ocean's 11.
- A two-tiered answer: Lopez wins the actual movie with the hardest job, but big picture Soderberg wins, since this didn't lead to the Lopez career that was wanted.
- The movie cemented Clooney as a top movie star, yet none of them feel he won; it did the most for Soderberg, and with Sondafeld it would not have been the same movie. 'So Soderberg, we'll go with that.'
