Drunk Sean Young gets thrown out of DGAs?
Posted on January 28th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Visibly thrilled, Joel and Ethan Coen took top honors last night at the DGA awards ceremony for their film No Country for Old Men, beating out Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), Sean Penn (Into the Wild), Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) and 
Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). Statistically, this usually means there’s a pretty good chance Joel and Ethan Coen will win the Oscar as well, however that’s not guaranteed. In the DGA’s all nominees get a chance to speak but audience participation has it’s limits.Variety’s Kris Tapley reports that Schnabel’s acceptance speech for his nomination was interrupted by an “extremely drunk” Sean Young. “Perhaps you’d like to finish my speech,” he told her, before stepping away from the podium. Alas, she was forcibly removed by venue security before she could oblige and tried to throw a punch at those ejecting her from the venue in the process. Supposedly Sean Young had quite a few outbursts during the course of the show before things totally got out of hand. Even sadder, the awards were not televised and, despite all the filmmakers in attendance, no footage has yet appeared on YouTube (that I can find).

Sean Young is a trip! I guess she won’t be getting much work in Hollywood pissing off directors like that.
