In this Hollywood parody, a group of has-been actors shoots an independent movie that begins to acquire Oscar nomination buzz, which fills them with hope. However, as celebrity shows start covering the production and award fever infects the filmmakers, the screenwriters become terrified that the film story is being changed to accommodate Hollywood standards. With Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and John Michael Higgins. Directed by Christopher Guest. [1:26]
