Oscar Winner with Kanye-esque Moment Has Newspaper Background

Elinor Burkett, the co-winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentery Short, has become a YouTube favorite for her Kanye-esque manners at the awards Sunday, where she interrupted fellow winner Roger Ross Williams during his speech so she could blab on. (See video below)

Turns out she has the past experience as a newspaper writer to go with that pushy demeanor. The Miami Herald reports that she once worked there as a feature writer and had some equally strange episodes.
