- Favreau is picked; without this movie he might not have had a career, he made his own destiny by writing it and getting it made, and after The Mandalorian he is among the five most important people in Hollywood.
- Vaughn is picked because he leaps off the screen at ten times the wattage of anyone else.
- The question is split into who won the movie itself versus long-term success; long term is called easily Favreau, since Vaughn was too charismatic not to make it, while Favreau was 300 pounds in Rudy three years earlier with mixed acting results.
- Co-winners have happened before; the framing is Vaughn as micro winner and Favreau as macro winner.
