Btw, Victor, was this the scene you referred to earlier, or did you really mean the first time she hears him play? Because her reaction there goes beyond subtle into totally impassive imo.

Woo hoo! Guessing this right was almost as wonderful as winning the 1984 Reader Jury of the "Zitty" for Meantime (tied with The Gold Diggers)!

(That said, I'm still only 1/4 in my prognostication of the final 8 performances. I ought to go no worse than 3/4 for the duration, however, with Ledger, Watts, and Day-Lewis as sure locks. [Or are they?])

I will say this. The actor who placed 4th received 96 points. The actors who placed in the top 3 each received more than 200 points. You can perhaps draw a conclusion from that.

No, I was thinking of this scene. I just had mixed up in my head the order of the recital and the audition. (And it IS an awesome scene, nezpa?)
