Oscars response thread - I'm counting on you

No way, I KNEW that didn't seem right. Did y'all catch the weirdness during the acceptance speech for best short doc, Music by Prudence? The director jumped up immediately and practically sprinted from the cheap seats to the mic. We assumed it was because your speech timer starts once your name is read, so the faster you make it to the stage, the longer you have to speechify. But then some lady jumped on stage and just started talking. The director seemed a little weirded out by it, but not abundantly so, but clearly something was amiss.

Well, turns out she was a producer that bailed on the project a year ago but still wanted to take credit. Salon interviewed both of them.
