I saw this last night and wondered what the hell was going on:

Bigelow vs. Cameron? Streep vs. Bullock? Forget it. The most riveting face-off during Sunday's Oscar ceremony came early: When producer Elinor Burkett wrestled the microphone away from director-producer Roger Ross Williams after their film, "Music by Prudence," won for best documentary short.

How weird, she barely made any sense to boot.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Yeah, I watched it live, and I wasn't sure what the hell I was watching. I had to rewind it to see what was up.

Obviously, she had bankrolled most of the film. He was gracious not to take (visible) offense.

That's not as bad as the story I read earlier today.

They read her name as a co-winner, I had the idea she just came out of nowhere.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I also had to rewind it after it happened. I saw her name at the bottom of the screen and figured she was late getting to the stage. Either way, seems to be two very different stories behind their ongoing dispute. And yes, she was quite incoherent.

I caught that too. I had no idea what she was going on about, and found I wasn't at all interested. Someone that rude and abrasive is not someone I'm going to put much effort into caring about, or listening to.

Pretty stupid move on her part, I'd say. There might have been a few people who knew what her issues were, but I'd bet most people just wrote her off as a screeching ninny.

She reminds me of someone who constantly wears her finest jewelry around the house with one hand always holding a glass of scotch (hiccup!) with half-melted ice in it.

Hey, I should start writing screenplays!

cheap blended scotch that she puts in an expensive crystal decanter, so people don't know she's drinking the cheap stuff.

And her finest jewelry being the tanzanite collection she bought from Suzanne Sommers on the Home Shopping Network.

(she bought that crystal decanter at a garage sale. It has a chip in it. It was $5)

Hey! I got that for my mom!
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
