Kanye’d producer allowed to deliver speech on Larry King
Larry King played the role of Beyonce Knowles on his CNN talk show Monday, March 8, giving Kanye’d documentary producer/director Roger Ross Williams a chance to finish his interrupted Oscar acceptance speech.
After a mad dash to the Oscar stage Sunday night, Williams’ co-producer on “Music by Prudence” did her best impression of Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift last year at the MTV Video Music Awards.
In talking over Williams during his acceptance of the Oscar for short documentary, Elinor Burkett provided one of the more interesting moments of 2010 Oscars.

(“Music by Prudence” beat ‘The Last Truck’ about the 2008 closure the Moraine GM Plant.)
Salon.com says reported about the bad blood between Williams and Burkett.
Here’s what the website reports Burkett saying about the situation:
BURKETT: What happened was the director and I had a bad difference over the direction of the film that resulted in a lawsuit that has settled amicably out of court. But there have been all these events around the Oscars, and I wasn’t invited to any of them. And he’s not speaking to me. So we weren’t even able to discuss ahead of the time who would be the one person allowed to speak if we won. And then, as I’m sure you saw, when we won, he raced up there to accept the award. And his mother took her cane and blocked me. So I couldn’t get up there very fast.
Here’s what Salon has Williams saying:
WILLIAMS: Only one person is allowed to accept the award. I was the director, and she was removed from the project nearly a year ago, but she was able to still qualify as a producer on the project, and be an official nominee. But she was very angry — she actually removed herself from the project - because she wanted more creative control.
