Imma letchu finish, director of Music By Prudence…
Perhaps the only interesting moment in the entire turgid Oscarcast last night came when the director of Oscar-winning short doc Music By Prudence was
suddenly interrupted by some white lady who appeared to be a crazy
person. Across the country people thought a random drunk had rushed the
stage – maybe even someone whose doc had lost but who was confused or
angry.
It turns out that woman, Elinor Burkett, was the producer of Music By Prudence, and she wrestled the mic away from director Roger Ross Williams as the latest in a long feud between the two. Salon got the story, and here’s Burkett’s side:
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.
The
cane block technique! It’s not quite Marlon Brando sending an Indian to
the awards in his place, but it’ll do. And now you know the story of
the Great 2010 Oscar Moment of Interest.

He should have bashed her over the head with his Oscar.
Osc0wned!
This bit just on in Australia – had to leave the room. You could see here getting blocked in the background though.
I'm more interested in knowing why Sam Jackson rolled his eyes after Monique won for Supporting Actress. Hilarious gif, too.
I would like to know why they cut away from the stage when one of the guys that came up when The Cove won started to unfurl a sign. It's probably really obvious but I would still like to know.
Also, a friend of mine was wondering why hasn't Jeff Bridges mentioned his brother Beau in any of the award acceptance speeches he has given. Did some bad blood come up between the two of them?
avator is the best but here you can watch the whole oscar vedio..on ___s u g a r b a b y m e e t__ d o t com… free for register to download..
Things like this make me miss Soybomb.
Soy Bomb and ODB declaring that "Wu Tang is for the children" now there's an award show…
Avator is certainly not the best, number 5.
Jeff Bridges was high, so anything that he forgot to say was likely a result of the ganja rather than any feud.
The Cove winners help up a sign that said "Text DOLPHIN to 44144"
Actually Bridges thanked Beau in his oscar speech…you must have missed it.
That whole event should go up on Nick's "A Dumb a Day"
Does anyone know what happens when you text Dolphin to 44144? I did it but I got no response. I'm worried I just donated 10,000 to dolphins.
I thought the best bit of the show was when Steve Martin called Sarah Jessica Parker a whore. That was awesome.

#13 – even the "correct" wording of the bit was funny. Surprised they'd invite the comparison of her and a horse.
