Elinor Burkett pulls a 'Kanye' at the Oscars

Roger Ross Williams and Elinor Burkett

Last night at the Oscars, Roger Ross Williams received the award for Best Documentary Short. Little did he know, Kanye West would take a new form and steal the show.

Old lady Kanye, otherwise known as Elinor Burkett, not only went up onstage but interrupted the man and stole his moment. Apparently, she was a producer who was removed from the project nearly a year ago, due to some differences she had with Williams.

But don't worry Roger, Elinor is going to let you finish.

He should have punched Elinor, but if you heard him on Larry King, then you know he sounded like a sissy. That's why she rushed the stage with no fear; too much sugar in the tank.
