Richard Gere; Hector Elizondo; the actor who played the character David Morse
In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:06:09Read transcript
- Yes for Gere, with Internal Affairs the same year and a nice run after; another says little good followed and he moved toward the Michael Douglas type, then accepts it.
- Yes for Elizondo, absolutely, with Chicago Hope praised.
- Roberts was already decided as not her apex, placed in the My Best Friend's Wedding era, though she is excellent and stunning here. — Bill Simmons
- Yes for "David Morris" (the character David Morse), "whoever played that guy"; otherwise not a lot of apex. — Bill Simmons
The Vivian Award for Best Clothes
Brown polka dot dress at the polo match
In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:00:47Read transcript
- A new award, possibly one-time, is introduced: the Vivian Award for Best Outfit. — Bill Simmons
- Nominees: the first black cocktail dress, the post-shopping white dress with black hat, the brown polka dot polo dress, the red opera dress, and the blood-orange short suit. — Bill Simmons
- First pick: the polka dot dress for the belt and her look, though she seems not to wear a bra and modern prints look see-through. — Juliet Litman
- A second-place mention goes to the black cocktail dress; the polka dot dress is called the objective answer and her Breakfast at Tiffany's look.
- Another participant had planned the coral short suit but on rewatch picks the first black cocktail dress, praising her hair. — Amanda Dobbins
- A vote for the brown polka dot dress because the host's wife calls it her favorite thing anyone has worn in a movie; the belt is timeless.
- David Morse, a character in the film, is said to have taken a look at the dress and liked it; the host's wife said she always liked that guy, and Googling him showed he is now an older English actor. — Bill Simmons
- The polka dot dress wins by a two-to-one vote; a later line calls it unanimous. — Bill Simmons
