Producer Elinor Burkett borrowed a move from Kanye West's playbook at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards when she stormed the stage and interrupted her "Music by Prudence" collaborator Roger Ross Williams' acceptance speech for the Best Documentary Short award.
Williams, the film's director, began his speech by relating his complete and utter surprise at winning the award. "Oh my God, this is amazing," he started. "Two years ago, when I got on an airplane to Zimbabwe, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would end up here. This is so exciting."
He wasn't the only one excited. Burkett, the film's producer, unexpectedly joined Williams on the stage and immediately commandeered the microphone, taking a jab at how women are never allowed to speak over men. "Isn't that just the classic thing," she said. [mtv.com]
