Elinor Burkett Rushes to the Stage at the 2009 Academy Awards
Kanye West isn’t the only one to rush the stage during an acceptance speech. At the 2009 Oscars, Elinor Burkett, a member of the production crew for the winning documentary “Music by Prudence,” interrupted the acceptance speech of producer Roger Ross Williams. Burkett rushed the stage and started giving her own speech, but Williams handled it professionally.
