...only a week after Thanksgiving, and most of the big Oscar engines are still in the roundhouse, gathering steam for their dash to big-time buzz, grosses and Academy glory--or not.

Martin Kelman, 35, a Briton who until recently headed Dataworkforce's U.S. office in the Dallas suburb of Plano, says he found U.S. business culture "a real buzz," because "in the United States, it doesn't matter if you have the right school tie or who your father was." But one contractor he brought in from Indonesia found the change unsettling. "One day he's riding his bike to work in Jakarta; the next he's in Manhattan," chuckles Kelman.
