Oscar Winner Roger Ross Williams Talks About Being Kanyed On Larry King

[rpottage]

@jeessick420 Actually only ONE person can give the speech (that's the academy's rule). She had left the film a year earlier in protest, then sued him. She was pissed because he (the owner of the film) was getting all the credit for the film he shot; and was pissed that she wasn't getting the attention (since she left a year ealier). The academy told him if he won he would be the person to accept (since it's his film).

When you leave a film and sue, you lose all rights to the Oscar it wins.

hahaha 'kanyed'! XD

I loved that he got another chance to make the speech but he should have talked from his soul, from the moment, not from a piece of paper he wrote for a MUCH bigger occasion..

Weird. Eeeew. It's always so strange when you see people replaying their emotions. "Oh my God..oh my God..I can't believe I'm standing here." Ugh..makes me feel weird!!

This dude looks so confused.This is not even what he was gonna say that night. The approach that lady used was wrong but still she made more sense than this guy. He is all about himself. You can clearly hear that he slotted in comments about Prudence which he would have never. This woman is very passionate about what she does, which makes her a bit,if not, overpowering, but you can feel that she is really passionate about the whole thing.

Larry was so wrong for calling him Kanye....It's because they are both black and his old school brain won't let him see that Roger Ross was the Taylor Swift in this situation. Or it maybe it's because black people are not on the same level as whites in his mind...hmmm?. And Eleanor should be ashamed of herself, old as she is blaming the man's mother by saying his mother used her cane to block her....let's keep it real..can't no cane stop any human being from moving forward.
