Thanks for filling me in. I feel somewhat better knowing that the woman won. But her rude behavior is what stands out.

As I understand it, she was the producer, he was the director. They both won the emmy and she had trouble getting up there. Of course, she claimed his 84 year old mother blocked the aisle with her cane. He claims she's 84 and has a cane and it simply got in the way.
The two of them are having issues-- it was her idea for the movie, it was his idea to center the story about Prudence ...a collaborative effort that went awry. At any rate, it was her oscar, too. Wonder who gets to keep it?

Dax) They both get Oscars. Only one of them (him) should have been speaking, though (per Academy rules). She removed herself from the project; it was his film.
The mother blocked her with her cane? I can't believe what I'm reading. It sounds like a kid's fight. I suppose the old lady pulled her hair and licked her tongue too. ~ Country Girl

I too was totally baffled by this woman until Dax gave the link to an interview with both of them. Also, if you watch the replay on YouTube certain things were obvious that weren't obvious live: 1) Elinor won the Oscar too. 2)Roger fled down the stairs in order to get away from Elinor who was not too far behind. 3)I did like how Roger did manage to end the whole fiasco by acknowledging Prudence who was in the audience. I think they cut to commercial after that.

I've read about it on many sites and all the talk shows have brought it up. How could you miss it??? They are both producers of the film and are not on speaking terms due to a law suit. They never discussed who would accept should they win. Once the name was called he ran to stage and she alleges his mother blocked her way with her cane. He came off smelling like a rose and she came off like Kanye West. She didn't do herself or her lawsuit any favors.

I saw an interview clip w/the woman yesterday & her response was (to the guy) 'Grow up!'. HE isn't the one who embarrassed himself on international tv! She doesn't seem to think that there was anything wrong w/her behavior, co-producer or not. At least, once the alchol induced haze wore off, KW realized his obnoxious, insppropriate actions & appologized. This woman doesn't have a bottle of booze to hide behind. She certainly hasn't made herself look like someone I'd like to work with, or for! eom

But they are talking about it, at least on the shows I'm watching. Larry King even had the guy come back on his show tonight (he used to work on Larry's staff so they know each other), and give the acceptance speech he wanted to. It was a little odd since the guy suddenly stopped with a look like a deer's eyes in the headlights, so I guess this guy is cursed! But it all ended well.
Dax gave us a link to a good article about the whole conflict above, under our Oscars discussion above; I recommend taking a look at that.
