Nominees are every Eli Wallach scene, Pacino's kitchen heart attack shouting "Fredo!", and Pacino at the end.
Garcia is defended as great in the movie, though he hits every line with an exclamation point; Internal Affairs is praised, drawing a complaint about hyping mediocre cop movies and a Proof of Life jab.
The award goes to Pacino's heart attack, where he really goes for it for 40 seconds.
Kay Corleone's hair is mocked as a poodle perm and more a 1990 haircut than a 1979 one.
The pushback defends Keaton and Kay: the Italy conversation is one of the great scenes and "I don't fear you, Michael, I dread you" lands.
The gnocchi scene is said to have aged just as badly as the incest.
The incest plot is the second worst thing: why not a third cousin, with Game of Thrones and Vincent's uncertain paternity raised.
Cousin prom dates and the Wolf of Wall Street cousin line come up; the kitchen seduction scene is its own awkwardness.
The two-hour, 50-minute running time ages worst, and George Hamilton gets another "why, why, why".
The film has a bad-guy problem: Altobello is no match for the first film's villain or Hyman Roth, and once Zasa is gone Michael faces ineffectual old men.
Lucchesi is introduced too late despite the "finance is a gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger" line and the message that the Vatican, the deal and the mafia are all connected.
The secret-society plot stays in the background and the characters are hard to keep apart even after several viewings, unlike the first film's cleanly set-up villain.
Eli Wallach as Don Altobello is a miscast moved here from casting what-ifs; Sinatra almost took the part and would have brought the needed charisma.
