Who was the Ginger who Pulled a Kanye???

The woman who ran on stage and stole to mic from director-producer Roger Ross Williams after their film had won for best documentary short was producer Elinor Burkett.

Here is her response to her Kanye moment:

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.

Best part of this whole thing...his MOTHER blocked her with a cane. I don't know if I believe it, but it is HILARIOUS!

The thing that I love about this whole mess is that Interrupting Kanye lives on! I didn't really ever have any doubt that it wouldn't but when the media world dubbed this moment the "Kanye West Moment of the Awards" and "That woman that pulled a Kanye" I knew it was going to be an event that lives on forever. Good job Kanye. We will never forget you.

XOXO
