Here they are kiddos, the keepers of the Golden Votes, the ones who tally careers, increase salaries, and the first to see if the backbiting rumours and knashing of teeth of the players is really a factor this year. I wonder if they form betting pools themselves or, as they certify Helen Mirren best actress, make a snide remark? Or do they just work quietly and methodically, complaining of this years' bonus and the quality of the company coffee?
