Cindy & Ray....

I have a great time on the show today. Cindy, Ray and Spoon were nothing but courteous and great, and I hope we can work together in the future. And also a big thanks to all of you for tuning in and for the support!

That being said...here are my final winner predictions...once again...and once and for all...enjoy the show on Sunday! And here's hoping that at least a few of these are wrong...nothing is more enjoyable for me than being able to say "wow" in genuine surprise on Oscar night.
