Teen solves centuries-old math problem
LOS ANGELES, March 8 (UPI) -- Film producer Elinor Burkett is downplaying her decision to interrupt director Roger Ross Williams' acceptance speech at the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles.
Both worked on "Music by Prudence," which won the Oscar for best short documentary film. But they reportedly had a falling-out long before the ceremony.
Burkett appeared on-stage and cut off Williams as he was making his remarks upon winning the prize. He reportedly later complained she had "ambushed" him.
Asked by TV's "Inside Edition" what she would say to Williams in the aftermath of her actions, which have been criticized as rude by the media, Burkett said: "Oh come on, grow up. The point is can we focus on the film? Not on ego?"
