Drunken Sean Young ejected from DGA awards

Actress Sean Young was big in the ’80’s, most notably for her role in Blade Runner and opposite Kevin Costner in No Way Out but now apparently makes a living chugging free booze and heckling people with talent. And on Saturday night, apparently she had much to drink during the latest DGA awards and made a spectacle on her table. Young was kicked to the curb for disrupting the Directors Guild Awards that took place in Los Angeles. This of course made fellow assistant uncomfortable and the actress was invited to leave the DGA.
USA Today and Perez Hilton both report that the inebriated actress made a spectacle of herself, embarrassing the people at her table.
During the DGA Awards, where the five nominated feature film directors made a speech before the winner was announced, “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” director Julian Schnabel was the last to speak.
Shortly after he took the podium, Young, seated near the stage, cut him off by shouting out, “Oh come on — get to it!”
Hilton’s sources say the actress was seated “at the same table as power couples Les Monves & Julie Chen and Steven Soderbergh & Jules Asner, who all tried to ignore her.”
“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.”
A shocked Schnabel searched the crowd to ask who was scolding him. When Young repeated “get to it!” Schnabel quickly wrapped up his speech, instructing Young to “have another drink, Honey,” and started to leave the stage.
But upon the audience’s insistence, Schnabel finished, and Young, stumbling in her white fur coat, was forcibly escorted out of the ballroom by two security guards, and at one point she fell to the floor.
