Exactly 10 inductees confirmed in the closing recap. Nine greens were locked earlier; the 10th slot (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) was reconciled from a first-pass yellow at the end. Separate 'blue' designations (Paris Blues, Sometimes a Great Notion for Sean; Harper, The Drowning Pool for Amanda) are host recommendations, NOT hall-of-fame inductions, so excluded. Yellows discussed but cut: The Long Hot Summer, Hudsucker Proxy, Cars, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.
