- Ang Lee is the first pick.
- Ang Lee and Joan Allen are the finalists; Allen wins among the actors, Jim Carver clearly lost, and Lee is favored because the film confirmed him as a major American filmmaker.
- Lee is rejected because the film did not do well; Joan Allen is picked for her run of roles and her best dramatic performance besides The Contender, which has aged poorly.
- Her Face/Off and Ice Storm work together are said to have solidified 1997 for her.
