For your consideration [videorecording] / Warner Independent Pictures and Castle Rock Entertainment present ; a Shangri-La Entertainment production ; produced by Karen Murphy ; written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy ; directed by Christopher Guest.
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.
