  • Sean selects PTA as writer, director, producer, conceiver, and career-transforming author of the whole work.
  • The other two hosts choose Day-Lewis because no substitute could reproduce the singular performance or the movie’s rewatchability.
  • Craig evaluates the arguments without declaring his own candidate, and the panel acknowledges that PTA may own the film’s longer historical legacy.
