- DeCaprio is proposed, as last time, followed by "Yeah. I agree."
- Martin Scorsese, who won Best Director at the Academy Awards. — Sean Fennessey
- Pushback: the question is who won the movie, not who made the best movie, and Leo wins it.
- The Scorsese case: a $300 million movie, the two biggest movie stars playing opposite each other, and the long-awaited Best Picture and Best Director.
- Still Leo: one of the most important actors of a lifetime, who proved in two and a half hours that he could do anything.
- Thought experiment: Leo needed this movie for his stretch but was already Leo; without it Scorsese likely never wins Best Picture or Director and becomes Charles Barkley.
- Sides with Sean's pick of Scorsese. — Craig Horlbeck
- The tally is tied two to two; the Scorsese case is seen from a career standpoint, but Leo wins the movie; both did it, and there are many winners.
