- John Goodman is presented as the leading case because Walter Sobchak gives him an unmatched set of line readings and a completely inhabited persona.
- Jeff Bridges receives a strong case because the Dude transformed his screen persona and defined much of his later career.
- Steve Buscemi is accepted as reaching a new level of name recognition and showing unexpected sincerity against his earlier tougher roles.
- John Turturro is rejected in favor of Rounders by one participant.
- The Coen brothers are rejected because the panel ranks other movies higher and believes the filmmakers do too.
