10 inductees. The Godfather counted as one slot but recap jokingly includes 'Godfather 1 and 2 and 3' (Duvall's absence from 3 discussed as a bit; Part 2 was the official green with Part 1 the emotional favorite). Two blue picks (outside the 10) awarded separately: Tracy Letts took THX 1138, Sean Fennessey took Open Range — these are 'blue' honorable mentions, not the 10 inductees, so excluded from picks. Yellows resolved by inducting Tomorrow and The Outfit; Rain People, Get Low were near-misses left out.
