Michael Keaton - another win as a villain after Batman

Matt O'Leary, praising how hard he tried throughout

Vince Vaughn, just because he likes watching him

Matt O'Leary (the kid), calling him the only actor giving a genuinely good performance; movie hinges on him

Agrees Peyton effectively won by ruining the family's life (job loss, trauma, leaving Seattle), calling it her 'revenge,' though he initially questioned whether her performance deserved top billing

Peyton wins the movie, comparing her performance to a LeBron 50-10-10 game; argues she still wins even though she dies because she destroys the family (Michael's legs broken, Marlene dead, Claire's trust in Michael shattered)

Rebecca De Mornay (Peyton) - 'easy' pick

Leans toward Jennifer Jason Leigh being the best performance, but notes it's close and considers Bridget Fonda's career trajectory (combined with Singles) as part of the 'who won' calculus

Agrees it's probably Jennifer Jason Lee, but personally says Bridget Fonda is more memorable/a 'visionary' to him
