Sean Young has emerged from her cocoon, where she spent the last several years storing up crazy, readying herself for her grand rebirth. And where did the fabled maniac strike this time? The
Directors' Guild Awards.
Why she was actually there, no one can say. She was in rare form though. Clearly soused, and in the company of a man who was said to be "oblivious" to her antics, Ms. Young randomly picked out targets from amongst the high-falutin. According to witnesses, Ms. Young variously heckled
Marion Cotillard, shouted things at a clip of
George Clooney from
Michael Clayton, burst spontaneously into song, and, most notoriously, shouted obscenities at
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly director
Julian Schnabel, who bravely stared down the legendary maniac, shouting back at her, "Have another drink, honey." It was at this point that security decided to cut Ms. Young's act short. A guard took her by the arm, dragged her out through a side door and tossed her.
Oh, if only every awards show had Sean Young. Imagine how much more fun last night's stuffy SAG Awards would've been had Sean been there to yell hideously inappropriate things. Like at the end of
Daniel Day-Lewis's speech when he dedicated his award to
Heath Ledger. How much better would that have been had Sean then stood up and screamed, "Did him!" Or when
Julie Christie paid tribute to the striking writers. What did that moment need? Sean Young hollaring, "Who did your make-up, a mortician? Get off the stage you dried-up old crone. I could've played your part in my sleep. And without expelling the reek of the crypt from my vagina!"
I love Sean Young.
