For Your Consideration

Is this weird headgear standard for Purim?...

Chris Guest is back with another biting satire, this time taking a look at Hollywood, and in particular, the Oscars marketing buzz. Set on the set of ''Home for Purim,'' a diverse cast of people are involved with the movie. Production is limping along with the usual problems, when rumours start circulating that the aging leading lady will be getting an Oscar nod for her role. This news galvanises everyone involved to greater efforts for their own personal glory, as the deadline for Oscar noms draws closer.
