This got trampled to page 5. Interesting new way to earn SH currency. Bump.

I felt pretty sick of trying to accumulate Hollywood Awards, so figured I'd do some calculations to see how unreasonable it is to play The Return of the Titanic Ben-Hur
Assuming no Premium SH workers
You start off making:
5 Yoga Mats = 8 minutes
20 Lattes (including SVT because almost everyone has him) = 6 minutes
20 Furniture = 2 minutes
Total = 8 minutes because they all run concurrently
Then you can make:
5 Pharmaceuticals = 12 minutes + 5 Yoga Mats + 10 Lattes
10 Smart Devices = 10 minutes + 20 Furniture + 10 Lattes
Run concurrently, Total = 20 minutes
Now you make:
5 Hollywood Awards = 20 minutes + 5 Pharmaceuticals + 10 Smart Devices
Total time spent: 40 minutes
Assuming all characters miss out on an hour long task because of this production
Lost cash: $70*30 = $2100 (with a healthy multiplier, we can call it $5000)
So, your choice is three hours and -$200000 to your balance
or
40 minutes and -$5000 lost opportunity cost (to be fair, 40 minutes could easily become over an hour since you're unlikely to be sat around staring at the heights all that time...)
tl;dr Never worth it
