Ashley decided that before Madeleine even got there that she is the best person ever,
As of April 10, this individual's employment is terminated. We will continue to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation of this incident.
You're always surprised. Even people who were considered locks for a nomination were surprised. This year, there are so many first-time nominees, 14 out of the 20 in the acting categories, I believe. I'm sure it was overwhelming for everybody, but I definitely was surprised.
