A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

MY EXCITEMENT'S GONE UP TO 11: Happy news is hidden in New York Magazine this week. Christopher Guest and his ensemble are quietly at work on a new movie. That alone is glorious news, but it's the concept that makes me even more excited--tentatively titled "For Your Consideration," the project is about the cutthroat competition for a major movie award. A few suggestions for the Guest ensemble.

• Catherine O'Hara as an aging diva who's sick and tired of being beaten for major awards by ingenues, who decides that she must take the perfect part--a disabled retarded woman who's dying of cancer to finally win her award.
• Parker Posey as the ingenue who "stole" the last award from O'Hara.
• Eugene Levy as the genius director who's not made a film in 20 years because he was "blocked," whose new film doesn't quite go the way it should.
• Fred Willard as the host of the awards show, who's been fired and this is his last chance to redeem himself.
