A Star is Burns

Despite receving a very negative reception at the Springfield Film Festival, Mr. Burns was determined to let his film "A Burns for All Seasons" win the festival. To do so, he bribed two of the five judges, Mayor Quimby and Krusty the Clown respectively, to win the grand prize. However, he loses to Barney Gumble's "Pukahontas" due to Homer changing his vote from Hans Moleman's "Man Getting Hit by Football" to Barney's film, in line with Jay Sherman and Marge's votes. Six months later, Burns tries to win an Oscar by bribing everyone in Hollywood, but he ends up losing to a remake of "Man Getting Hit by Football" starring George C. Scott, proving Marge's point earlier in the episode that some awards can't be bribed.
