The program has only been over for less than an hour as I write this, but here are some immediate reactions:

Most obvious ommissions: Actors - Frank Sinatra, Alec Guinness. Actresses - Myrna Loy, Olivia De Havilland.
Biggest surprises: Actors - Jimmy Stewart finishing 3rd instead of 1st; John Wayne out of the top ten. Actresses - Greta Garbo finishing 5th; Mae West making the list at all.
On the Classic Movies Top 25, but missing from the official results: Actors - William Powell, Frank Sinatra, Charlton Heston, Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Bob Hope. Actresses: Maureen O'Hara, Lucille Ball, Doris Day, Myrna Loy, Olivia De Havilland, Deborah Kerr.
Exact or within one spot of the position on the Classic Movies list: Actors - Sidney Poitier, Laurence Olivier, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant. Actresses - Judy Garland, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn.
My most accurate prediction: Katharine Hepburn as #1 actress.
My least accurate prediction: That Lucille Ball would be on the list.
My biggest thrill: Bogie is #1!
My biggest disappointment: Barbara Stanwyck not in the top ten.
