- The flex choice is the Inventing Cold Fusion award for Co: her model-like appearance is considered implausibly conspicuous for covert jungle work. A Romeo Doubs renaming of the Judd Nelson category is mentioned as an unused alternative. — Kyle Brandt

- Armand Assante is offered as the Judd Nelson-style overacting choice and criticized as excessively broad — Chris Ryan
The Butch’s Girlfriend Award for the Weakest Link in the Film

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 00:38:42Read transcript
- One participant dislikes Embry’s Preston and connects his performance to an interview about being heavily stoned; another loves the sensitive romantic character and compares the appeal to Lloyd Dobler. — Bill Simmons
- Another participant initially says there is no weak link, then identifies Facinelli’s Mike as a possible limitation and wishes him less evil. — Bill Simmons
- Billy Zabka, James Spader, Judd Nelson and Craig Sheffer serve as comparisons for the missing menace, charisma or rationale for Amanda’s attraction. — Bill Simmons
- Staying with Mike for three years simply for football status is criticized as weakening Amanda too. — Bill Simmons

- Hackman receives the Judd Nelson award for seeming to inhabit a different, serious football movie. His coaching maxims are mocked as clichés, but his presence gives an unfamiliar ensemble credibility. — Van Lathan

- Bullock wins the Judd Nelson New Jack City variation: her rom-com-like arrival clashes with the severe violence her character later suffers. — Bill Simmons

Approx. transcript time · 01:10:00Read transcript
- The Judd Nelson acting-in-a-different-movie category is revived for Paul Winfield, considered overqualified for a few uncontextualized helicopter lines. — Bill Simmons
In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:01:20Read transcript
- The PR guy was one participant's pick for the Judd Nelson award for a guy in a different movie, and it is agreed he fits: he has nothing in the film and it is unclear whether he is good or bad. — Bill Simmons
- His late scene taking the Best Actress card, smudging the blood and pocketing it is weird and its meaning unclear. — Van Lathan
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:05:06Read transcript
- There are arguably three movies (the military-government thriller, Connery's and Cage's), but by the Judd Nelson standard Ed Harris is in a completely different movie because he takes it so seriously. — Chris Ryan
- Harris plays it like an Oliver Stone sequel to Platoon, without an Alan Rickman or John Lithgow gleam, entirely straight; not certain that was right, but memorable. — Chris Ryan
- Pushback that the core three were praised all along draws the reply that Harris is liked, just in a different movie, unlike Gene Hackman's quirks in Crimson Tide.
- Counterpoint: an obvious villain would make a different film; the story rests on the bluff, which Connery reads ("he's a soldier, he's not a madman"). — Mina Kimes
- The core three are rated more like Westbrook, Beale and Bertons, with a Chris Bosch comparison retracted, while Harris is called amazing. — Mina Kimes
