Great Shot Gordo Award

The snowy subway/New Year's Eve shot referencing the 'refrigerator/Peyton' bit from 1986, with Bernie doing the double shots at Mother's

The climactic dance/battle location at the castle (also mentioned Daniel consoling Miyagi and the Benihana scene as other good shots, but named the castle location as the winner).

The scene where Daniel-san and Kumiko are running on the rocks during their date as 'Sitara' plays, and right as he says 'take you to my castle,' the castle is revealed on the word 'castle' — perfect editing/music sync.

References the Halloween-style shot where a character comes out after seeing friends butchered, realizing Michael Myers is still in the house, and his white face slowly emerges in the background

The Hereditary shot where the camera stays fixed in a corner and you can't find the character in frame, creating dread about where she is

The Den of Thieves Benihana scene - a New York scene he'd never seen depicted like that in a movie before, made shortly after 9/11

The ice cube falling into the hotel glass shot; also praised the 360 shot when Keaton flips out at the hotel manager, and a shot that flips as she's going out the door.

Criticized the 360-degree rotating shot used for a banal conversation, saying the drama doesn't match the shot; did not give a definitive favorite pick.

The ape in slow motion learning how to use a weapon (2001: A Space Odyssey), and how it was filmed

The floating pen shot in 2001: A Space Odyssey

The floating pen shot, plus the front projection screen shots at the Dawn of Man in 2001: A Space Odyssey (also cites his own use of front projection in Close Encounters, and his 'Jaws dolly zoom/trombone shot' on the beach as a Hall of Fame Great Shot Gordo winner)
