Hire the director, writers, cast, and front the money basically.

Producer = the person who will accept the Oscar.
Executive Producer = connection to the money (not normally the source).
Having said this, the term 'producer' gets thrown around far too much. You never really know what someone credited as a producer has done anymore.

Oh, the funny bone, that just smacked it hard... made me almost spit the egg nog which wasn't that good and should have been spat out being the rank disguesting vile slog that it was, but was swallowed anyway. William Fichtner... only reason I watch "Prison Break". Looks hysterical.
