- A participant initially proposes no winner because this is not the best work of anyone involved, except possibly Deborah Kara Unger; the panel objects that career-best work is not the criterion. — Chris Ryan
- Douglas is defended because his old-school movie-star presence carries nearly every scene and gives the audience its point of view.
- Penn is defended because Conrad’s few scenes require an actor with enough energy and danger to make the entire premise work. — Bill Simmons
- Fincher is rejected because he disowned the movie, though its success helped position him to make Fight Club.
