  • A new conditional award, from an idea Bill Lawrence raised on the Out of Sight podcast, honors people famous figures bring along into their movies, such as a director casting Eric Stoltz.
  • Clint Smith wins: he was in 48 Hours in the jail cell, in Trading Places, on SNL with Eddie, and here the third barbershop guy under hours of Rick Baker makeup.
  • It could be the Clint Smith or the Clint Howard Award, so it becomes the Clint Award.

  • Bill Lawrence, on the podcast last week, suggested a category for the director's or star's friend who appears in many of their movies, named like the Jack Haley or Eddie House Award after NBA players who follow a superstar; the Jack Haley name is called a good one.
  • Asked who the guy in every Scorsese movie is, the answer offers Harry Northup or Vic Argo, saying both are in many of those films and it may be one of them. — Sean Fennessey

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Diamonds in a fish tank; an ending where the agent helps him escape; why no prison sitcom

  • Are we led to believe the woman falls for him when they break into the house at the end? Flagged for unanswerable questions.
  • Can you really leave diamonds in a fish tank without the chemicals harming them? It seems a stupid hiding place compared to a panel in the house.
  • A joke says Rosillo hides his diamonds, not in a fish tank; a reply says 'I keep mine on me at all times.'
  • Could the ending have had the federal agent help the man she loves escape instead of arresting him? Fast and Furious later did that.
  • A question for Bill Lawrence: why has no one nailed a prison sitcom? Oz is raised, and the answer offers to put a laugh track on an episode of Oz.
