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]

blankfistsays...I think I wrote a blog post about this kind of arrogance somewhere on here. Hmmmm.
rougysays...Yeah, I felt for the guy...and I'm grateful that a fellow film-maker would be the first on VS to make note of this.
And, wow, no whorish self-promo....
EMPIREsays...I particularly like how she turned that situation into a pseudo feminist rant, by saying women are not allowed to speak. What a fucking douche-bitch (it's a new thing I just invented).
edit: oh and I bet she had the brilliant "we can" speech memorized for her glory moment.
rougysays...Yes. If only she'd have been sober enough to deliver the masses unto the land of milky honey.
Milk hound Hyundai.

Hybridsays...Sing it with me... 3.. 2.. 1..
"Move bitch, get out the way. Get out the way bitch, get out the way."
