Drunken attention-whore Sean Young booted from DGA Awards

At last night’s DGA Awards ceremony, a drunken Sean Young interrupted The Diving Bell and the Butterfly director Julian Schnabel’s speech by shouting “Oh come on — get to it!”

Even in her inebriated state Ms. Young displayed more taste and honesty than any in attendance. Too bad she didn’t get this advice to Mr. Schnabel while he was still in the scripting stage.

USA Today and Perez Hilton both report that the Catwoman wannabe did a magnificent job of making an ass of herself at the star-studded ceremony.

Hilton’s sources say the Blade Runner star was seated “at the same table as power couples Les Monves & Julie Chen and Steven Soderbergh & Jules Asner, who all tried to ignore her.” (How is Jules Asner a “power” anything? The most powerful she’s done next to using Steven Soderbergh as a meal ticket, is stealing Ed’s last name.)

“When she wasn’t yelling, Sean would stand up, put on her white fur coat and walk around her table and then retake her seat (while people were onstage accepting awards),” a shocked eyewitness tells Hilton.

Hilton’s source continues: “She also licked the neck of her date (some grey haired dude who looked like a lawyer-type guy), screamed in French at French actress Marion Cotillard, and when cutie pie Kristen Chenoweth belted out a few bars to a song (encouraged by Carl Reiner) Sean started singing too.”

Under the glare of television lights, it took Schnabel a moment to identify who the heckler was. Young helped him along by repeating “get to it” after which Schnabel instructed her to “have another drink, honey.”

He should save ‘A’ material like that for his screenplays.

After their heated exchange, Ms. Young was escorted from the ballroom by security guards. I’ll let you know if and when any dead animals turn up on Mr. Schnabel’s doorstep.

UPDATE: Sean Young checks into rehab

    Wait…Julian Schnabel won? How. Is. That. Possible?!?! Secondly, what was Young doing there in the first place? I thought she fell off the map…and the wagon…years ago. How’d she swing that invite?

    Gentlemen, rest your sphincters! He didn’t win. I failed to point out that all of the nominated directors get a chance to speak before the big award is handed out. The Cone Bros. won.

    You raise an excellent question. Just how did Sean Young land an invite? I wish they said who her “gray-haired dude” escort was. That would probably explain a lot.

    “Gentlemen, rest your sphincters!” Well put! You scared me there. Well, at least the Coens are better, but PTA should’ve won it. Better film. More epic and clearly more deserving. Also, he would know how to give an awards speech, unlike Joel and Ethan, who kinda remind me of the kids at the back of the class in high school who don’t speak much.
    Maybe Sean Young’s date was a hot shot producer she was…um…”escorting”. Yeah, that’s the polite term, I think. “Escorting”.

    Schnabel’s direction gave me a headache as well.
    Try seeing “the Diving Bell and the Butterfly” then “Cloverfield” after downing a fifth of Nyquil and watch the theatre floor become awash a variety of different body fluids.

    You may not like the film, but you gotta admit…the man knows how to handle a heckler.
