She's already being called the white lady Kanye for running up onstage and
interrupting Roger Ross Williams. Turns out she is Elinor Burkett, a journalist
and co-producer of the winning film, Music By Prudence.
Here's the transcript of the entire bizarre affair, provided by ABC:
Roger Ross Williams: Oh my god. This is amazing. Two years ago when I got on an
airplane and went to Zimbabwe, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd
end up here. This is so exciting. This is so exciting. So exciting.
Elinor Burkett: ...Let the woman talk. Isn't that the classic thing? In a world
in which most of us are told and tell ourselves that we can't. Liyana, the band
behind this film, teaches us that we're wrong. Against all odds they did, so we
can. So the bottom line is, to me, my role models and my heroes, Marvelous and
Energy, Tapiwa, Goodwell, the whole rest of the band and especially Prudence.
Roger Ross Williams: And Prudence who is here. Who is back there. Prudence is
here tonight. This is for Prudence.
Who is Burkett? She's a journalist and author who apparently splits her time
between the Catskills and Zimbabwe. She's no longer listed on the credits on the
film's web site. Here's some inside detail from former New York Times reporter
Jennifer 8. Lee:
