"A Star Is Burns" is the 18th episode of The Simpsons' sixth season.

Plot

After Kent Brockman broadcasts a story of the natural survey depicting Springfield as the least popular city in America, the town adopts Marge Simpson's proposal to launch a film festival to boost Springfields image, and Marge is placed on a panel to judge each short film produced by the townspeople. Also on the panel is the New York City critic Jay Sherman, who is of course the star of another animated series, The Critic. Sherman's stay at the Simpsons' house proves problematic, as Homer begins to suspect Marge does not really respect him. Thus, Marge gives him a spot on the panel, in place of Martin Scorsese. On the night of the festival, the panel comes into deadlock, between members bribed by the untalented contestant C. Montgomery Burns and those who honestly support Barney Gumble's touching film about alcoholism, titled Pukahontas. Homer, originally supporting Hans Moleman's film Man Getting Hit by Football (which only he liked just because it was a funny), is convinced to look into his heart and resolve the deadlock by voting for Barney's film.
