All the Presidents' Mensch; Staffing Season Hell; The Race for Oscar Tickets

Hosted by Claude Brodesser-Akner Feb. 20, 2006 Hollywood
The President of the United States is arguably the most powerful man in the world.  So how does a humble screenwriter go about putting words in his -- or her -- mouth on the screen? Also, it's staffing season time again: Find out just how far TV writers are willing to go to score that network gig. And the race for Oscar is on... for the handful of tickets to the Kodak Theatre come March 5. Will the Hollywood elite have to scalp for seats?
