Do you think the actors knew who would win?



I wondered if they waited until the final judge gave his decision on who would win and if the reactions were all real.

Anybody know?

Wow, I never thought of that! I'd like to know the answer as well =)

Wow, that's a great question! Wish I knew.

It'd be neat if the reactions were real, but I feel like they would know. Movies typically aren't shot in order, and the ending segments reference the outcome of the show.

Sometimes movies shoot multiple outcomes as well, to keep the plot a secret. They could have shot different scenes where someone else won. But they also ad libbed a lot of this movie right? So it's quite possible they didn't know who won before announcing it. I don't know the answer, and I think they probably did know in advance because of logistics, but it's a great question.
