I just watched it myself.

Is it just me or is it blatantly obvious that the Boeing project head knew 100% before the decision was announced that Boeing had lost? Seemed obvious from his facial expression and body language (and they got the decision in the CEO's office, no workers around, in contrast to LockMart.)

Was there a leak, or did he pretty much know by how things had gone the previous few weeks? I don't rememeber much around the time period of the decision.

No. The people that make these decisions make them based on set parameters. Boeing and LM knew who fit within those parameters. DOD contractors always know when they will win and when they will lose.
