<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Synopsis</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>It's awards season in
Hollywood and movie star Tyler Johnes is just dying to get to the
ceremonies. He's been nominated for Best Support Actor and is convinced
that he's a shoe-in for the award. So, when he wakes up in a dilapidated
bar on the day of the awards, Tyler is understandably confused. Adding to
that confusion is the only other occupant of the bar -- a strange old Irishman
who doesn't seem to appreciate the importance of the Oscars. Unexpected
appearances by Tyler's Oscar date, his agent, his estranged wife and a rival
actor further complicate his attempts to keep his appointment with
destiny.</FONT></DIV>
