CGiii Comment
Typical behind the scenes Hollywood stuff...with a liberal sprinkling of gay characters.
Unfortunately, it falls flat on its face because of...bad acting.
In-jokes and self-indulgence abound...
Guest & Levy obviously thought it very funny...but: THEY FORGOT ABOUT THEIR AUDIENCE.
Awful.

Hollywood send-up. No-name actors are making a low-budget period drama called "Home for Purim," when an anonymous post on the Internet suggests that one performance is Oscar-worthy. Then, two more cast members get Oscar-related press: buzz in "Variety" and appearances on TV prompt the studio executives to insist on changes in the script in anticipation of a blockbuster. Jump ahead a few months to the days before Oscar nominees are announced: just the possibility of a nomination has changed the actors' lives. Agents, publicists, make-up artists, local celebrity reporters, and other bit players round out the backstage ensemble. Hooray for Hollywood!
