- Anthony Hopkins is a yes: this is the apex for him.
- Ted Levine is a yes, called the apex not just for him but for all actors.
- Jonathan Demme is a no from one host, who would choose Stop Making Sense or Something Wild; the other asks how a five-for-five Oscar sweep is not the apex, and the first host admits to being a hipster about it but sticks with that choice.
- Chris Isaac's apex (as transcribed) is instead the Wicked Game video, called a top-12 video of all time.
- Jodie Foster is a yes: after an initial 'I think so', the reply agrees this was her apex; her performance in The Accused is rated higher, she is called good in Panic Room and Inside Man without those being apex work, and her most iconic role plus a second Best Actress Oscar settle it.
