MTV: 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.
Salon interviewed Elinor Burkett: “What happened was the director and I had a bad difference over the direction of the film that resulted in a lawsuit that has settled amicably out of court. But there have been all these events around the Oscars, and I wasn’t invited to any of them. And he’s not speaking to me. So we weren’t even able to discuss ahead of the time who would be the one person allowed to speak if we won. And then, as I’m sure you saw, when we won, he raced up there to accept the award. And his mother took her cane and blocked me. So I couldn’t get up there very fast.”
