Their traits in common were accentuated by the actors’ accompanying comical skit, which saw both acting dark and brooding – mannerisms both Ortega and Plaza have utilized in their careers.
The skit involved Plaza saying, “I don’t know why they paired us up together,” with Ortega responding, “Yeah, I know…we have nothing in common.”

Plaza then admitted that she saw why the awards paired them together.
