- The award is treated as a wrap that needs only the charade of walking through it; Henry Winkler is joked to have had his heat check at the premiere telling everyone he was uncredited, and Jamie Kennedy is named.
- Whether Matthew Lillard is a role player or the star is asked; on reflection he is the most exciting thing in the movie, not the best performance but really going for it and hilarious, and his 'your daddy's the chief suspect' clip is played.
- His interview on The Watch with Chris and Andy, where he said he thought he was hot and then his career fizzled after Scooby-Doo, makes the performance elegiac; his face does things, as on Twin Peaks, like a kid in a Norman Rockwell painting, with eye bulges, frowns and finger pointing making him a really weird performer.
- He is declared the winner of the award; he counts as a role player, in maybe a third to forty percent of the movie; the award should be renamed the Henry Winkler Award, or a separate award for unplaceable arrogance, the Kobe Award.
