Line 10:
At the festival, Mr. Burns's ego-stroking film receives a nasty reception and he bribes both the mayor and Krusty to vote it as Best Film. Marge and Jay back Barney's touching document of his own alcoholism, ''Pukeahontas'', leaving Homer to break the tie. Unfortunately, ''his'' favorite film of the lot is Hans Moleman Productions' ''Man Getting Hit by Football'', so the jury is deadlocked and Marge is embarrassed. Jay encourages Homer to rethink his decision, and rewatching ''Pukeahontas'' convinces him that it deserves his support. Barney wins the Best Film award, and temporarily swears off booze until he learns that he's won a tanker truck's worth of Duff Beer to go along with his statuette. All seems well -- Marge is proud of Homer and thinks that Mr. Burns learned his lesson...
 
But an epilogue reveals that Mr. Burns, stung by his failure to win at the festival, pushes his film through to the [[Academy AwardsAward]]s and bribes everyone in the industry to vote him Best Actor. The good news is that he ''still'' loses to George C. Scott, who plays the lead in a feature-length version of ''Man Getting Hit by Football''.
