Are you sure you posted the right list? Always double check the envelope :-)
So how big a hit will Price Waterhouse take? I did think Kimmel's cooment was funny - "I blame Steve Harvey."
The Academy and I agreed five times last night. Perhaps not that surprising. The biggest surprise, I guess, is we agreed on costume design.
I'd like to know how many names PWC has had in the last 83 years.
I predict that next year it will be E&Y.
