  • Tia Carrere as Juno Skinner, an ancient-Persian antiquities specialist, receives the Elisabeth Shue Oxford Electrochemist award. The role is compared with Bond’s implausibly credentialed glamorous women.
  • Carrere is praised as underused after Wayne’s World, but her True Lies performance is challenged as an unconvincing mysterious badass reliant on holding champagne. Showdown in Little Tokyo is preferred as an example of her appeal.
