10 inductees. Two-phase verdicts: 'orange' award (one cool-shit slot) went to Eyes Wide Shut voice work but was NOT an induction. Blue Jasmine was a strong candidate (yellow) but ultimately cut in favor of Hanna after a contentious reconciliation debate; Sean deferred to Amanda. Other cut yellows: Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Cinderella, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Bag. Sean noted 6 of the 10 are supporting roles (category-fraud debate). Final list confirmed in recap.
