In Christopher Guest’s razor-sharp satire about Hollywood filmmaking, a documentary crew follows the cast and crew of the low-budget indie drama Home for Purim as unexpected Oscar buzz sends everyone spiraling into awards-season hysteria. Guest reunites ensemble favorites Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Parker Posey, Harry Shearer, Fred Willard, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean, John Michael Higgins, and Bob Balaban for a hilarious send-up of entertainment media, prestige filmmaking, and desperate industry ambition. O’Hara stars as faded actress Marilyn Hack, whose rumored Award-worthy performance transforms the once-forgotten production into the center of Hollywood attention, while agents, publicists, producers, and gossip shows all scramble to capitalize on the momentum. Filled with Guest’s signature improvisational style and painfully accurate industry absurdity, For Your Consideration is both a biting satire of Oscar culture and a loving ode to performers chasing recognition. (USA, 2006, 86 mins, PG-13, English | Dir. Christopher Guest)
