- Elmo Blatch wins for embellishing his confession with twitchy laughter and aggressive delivery.
- Gil Bellows throwing away his GED test and storming off is another candidate.
- Tim Robbins is considered for the speech about the cornfield and box, but the panel says he has to play it that way.
- Robbins’s final prison conversation prompts an early suggestion of a low-key Rubinek subcategory, with a defense that the scene requires this performance.
