Career Achievement Award

• Alan Arkin

Breakaway Accomplishment

• Terry Bradshaw: "The Hall of Fame quarterback and Fox NFL Sunday host comes awfully close [to stardom] in this, his first major film role... He's riotously exasperated as a dad with a stay-at-home son — but the real eyeopener is the tenderness of his performance with the wonderful Kathy Bates as his wife."[7]
