Get ready for a little "Movie Magic," 'cause it's Part 1 of the two-part Season 9 Finale, y'all!

1. Ben can't believe it's the finale already. Seems like only yesterday there were 16 artists ... now there are Three.
   
   
   
    
2. Nora can't believe it, either.
   
   
   
    
3. It's a time for excitement ... and a time for select eliminated artists to assist the finalists with their short film characters. Artists like Jasmine, who's always ready to express her enthusiasm.
   
   
    
4. SELFIES FOREVER. With Meg!
   
   
   
    
5. It's not all freaky celebration around here, though. There's a fair amount of pensiveness and contemplation, too (or maybe just vague distraction).
   
   
   
    
6. Anyway, each of the three artists imagines themselves as the Season 9 winner. Here's Nora practicing her potential acceptance speech.
   
   
   
    
7. Quite good, quite good, hmm ...?
   
   
   
    
8. Lookit that, eh? LOOK at that! It's a damn movie!
   
   

Next Week: Season 9 comes to a close with "Movie Magic - Part 2."
