Prizes to be awarded include the John Belushi Award for the top player in high black Converse sneakers, the Derek Bok Interstellar Cerebellum Award for the player who uses his talent to the fullest, and the Larry Flint Hustler Award...

Nicholson never lets anyone in the cast, him self included, go overboard...
