Microphone hijacker at last night's Oscars - behind the scenes

Yo...

Remember this weird moment at last night's Academy Awards?

I wasn't sure if this lady was legit angry or just really wanted to get in her acceptance speech before the music started. Turns out there was a tight situation around this whole scene. Here's the whole story, but the quote that really sums up the sentiment (from the linked Salon.com interview with mic hijacker Elinor Burkett):

"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."

Cane? There's a cane involved in this story? Ummm, okay wow.
