Video Exclusive: Sean Young vs. Julian Schnabel

By Borys Kit

It's the talk of the awards season: Sean Young heckling "Diving Bell and the Butterfly" director Julian Schnabel at the DGA's Saturday night, then getting the boot. The drama continued to unfold Tuesday when Young voluntarily checked into rehab. Now the Hollywood Reporter has obtained video footage from the incident: a clearly moved Schnabel on stage trying to make a speech when in the background you hear, "Get on with it!" How would he have reacted if he had known it was Young? You tell us.

Comments

[ChuckL]

When Julian Schnabel was first hitting the art scene, those of us already there saw him for what he was then, and still is now; ... a fake who never saw a style he wouldn't copy.

The running joke at the time when viewing a badly done piece at an exhibition was to remark: "gotta be a Schnabel"

[VoiceofReason]

Sean Young is the bomb! Heckle the fake, phoney, fraud.

[Joe Schmo]

Who? .. Who are these people again? What's that you say? Oh, the 80's... Hey, what's on HBO?

[annonymous]

I actually had a portrait, of me, personally made out of plates by Schnable and it SUCKS. He didn't capture me at all. He told me during painting that it felt like I was looking through him. What does that mean? I bet I could maybe get $500 for it if I'm lucky... And if you ever read this Julian, and you're able to figure out who this is, why don't you get a hold of me and redo this piece of s***.

[Steve]

Hilarious. Pity you have to go into rehab after something like that nowadays. Can't someone just go on a bender and act like an ass without having to go to rehab? Sheesh.

I once watched Schnabel ripped a junketeer a (well deserved) new one when she suggested life under Castro isn't bad. He must've went ballistic backstage here.

And as a side note, Young allegedly Krazy Glued a certain part of James Woods' anatomy to his belly once upon a time, so a "Get on with it!" isn't all that bad.

Superglued? Here's to monkey-wrenching Hollywood BS-ers. So now it's rehab for uppity women? I guess rehab's the new Bedlam and Xanax the new shock treatment, eh?

[price lickleiter]

Um, that video sucks.

But I will say, what self-pretentious ass that guy was. Sign me up for the Sean Young reality show!

[dale]

I knew this guy in high school in Texas. He used to get his ass kicked regularly. Glad to see it's still happening.

[fallenwoman]

:) :) :)

[Willy Wonka]

I don't know who this guy is and I can't even hear what Sean Young said. But for us at the Chocolate Factory,"I'll still drink to that, probably a fake Black Russian."

[Kate]

Why aren't feminists leaping to defend Young's speaking truth to power? Look at the video--Schnabel's not so coherent himself. She spoke for every woman in the room--all cinched in by Spanx, Choos, and a Wonderbra--when she urged the guy to get on with the godamned speech already so they could go home. Right on sister!

[Helios]

Werd. Did you see his fat ass face twitch? That was the best part.

[mia]

The guy is an ass.

He got off easy.....

Damned straight. Go Sean.

[Joe]

Holy crap, people. Get a life. WHO GIVES A FUKC?

[Zip]

Hilarious!!! That was comedy gold.

She was right...he deserved to be heckled!!! He came out there being a pompous and arrogant lazy speaker. He showed no respect to the audience while he pretended to be too cool for the room. Well, Sean apparently woke him up from his stooper.

I am tired of all this phony posturing during awards presentations. Yes, one hopes that members of the audience will be respectful, but those receiving the awards most be equally respectful by speaking clearly and with linear thoughts, a faux drug haze. In that arena, this director failed horribly, as he was more invested in acting like a spaced-out rockstar...rather than a professional director and artist, that of course, until Sean Young spoke-up and dared to say "The Emperor Has No Cloths!!!"...shocking the whole arrogant crowd with a refreshing truth.

That shy and scripted staccatoed Jim Morrison laced affect, as put on by Julian Schnabel, while pretending to not be able to talk and organize his thoughts, nontheless, is a act that has completely "Jumped The Shark"--enough already!!! The crowd should have applauded Sean with a 10 minute standing ovation...and sent Sandman Sims of Showtime At The Apollo fame, tap dancing and twirling onto the stage to hook that pseudo intellectual director off the floor, dragging him behind the curtains, with his stripped red and white clown cane.

Sean Young brought life to a otherwise dead ceremony. We should all be thanking her for giving this award presentation a much needed kick in the behind!!!

Three Cheers To Sean, no rehab necessary!!! Thanks for sobering this crowd-up to the truth!!!

[Hollywood Blows!]

I can't stand 85% of these pompous, bone-smuggling Hollywood fakes. I'm so glad that industry is suffering!

[Michael Heister]

Wow. I had no idea Schnabel was the "The Knack" of directors. I haven't seen My Left Eye yet. Should I???

[Gaping A. Hole]

What a jackass (and I'm not referring to Sean)

[Paul H]

"Who said that TO ME?" lol. Poor guy; he thought he was important. In fact, he was impotent. As we say in Texas, 'Bless his heart.' (Now everyone join me in saying, "Awwwww, poor fella. He got his bubble burst. He thought he was important until that moment."

[DGJA04NB]

THEY SHOULDN'T LET PEOPLE WITH HEAD LICE MAKE SPEECHES IN PUBLIC LIKE THAT.

[LOL]

I have never seen anyone act so inappropriately, and get more support. LOL! POWER TO THE CRAZY PEOPLE!!! :-) I don't really even know who this is. However, my question is, if he is so universally hated and viewed as a fraud, why is he getting an award?

[Lady Di]

After seeing that pompous head kissing and "that's a friend" crap, I would have heckled him, too. This was the best thing that could have happened at this event. I had never heard of the DGA Awards or Julian Schnable before this news story.

[carl]

Head lice? Next he would have been scratching his ass for inspiration. What a jerk.

Sean, you go girl!

[Satan]

Hatred! Humiliation! Hypocricy! Keep up the great work people!

[Who Cares]

The WHOLE Hollywood culture is a pimple on the rear of civilization.

[bugmanz]

who are both these sorry mother fuckers when we have good men dying over seas!!!! get real folks................

[Joan Crawford]

Now, that's what I call Entertainment. Why don't they make movies like that??

[Steve G]

Do recognized directors need to obtain fame by shunning personal care? It looks like he combed his hair with buttered toast.

[Paul Maul]

Who does that jerk Schnabel think he is? Robert DeNiro? "Who said that TO ME?!" Schnabel should have shown more grace and given Sean Young the benefit of the doubt -- that she was drunk and didn't think she was talking to him, but rather to a fat, stinking, oinking pig wearing yellow tinted glasses. Easy mistake to make. People like Schnabel are why I hate the entertainment crowd.

[The Fayze]

I couldn't catch all of Sean Young's words, and she is an actress I love; however, it was rude to call out no matter what the provocation. Julian Schnabel's behavior may not always be of the best, but he was there to be honored as an artist, not as a gentleman and not as an orator. Since we live in a society that values courtesy and manners less and less, I'm not surprised by some of the comments, but I am dismayed.

[Rob]

YEAH FOR SEAN YOUNG!!! She said what everyone else was thinking. Julian Schnabel is to art and filmaking like hair is to the human soul. No matter what shape or pretentious form it's still irrelvant.

[General Mortars]

Sean Young heckels a hollywood prima dona director and gets assailed for it.
Sean Penn and Danny Gloves grovel and get on their knees for that "PIG" of a dictator Chavez and they are worshipped by the gullible imbeciles of the Hollywood left.

-GM

[thedude]

Sean Young, now more popular than ever!

[thedude]

Sean Young, now more popular than ever!

[Terry Corcoran]

Yayyy Sean! I'm as sick of these pretentious assholes as you are. Leave these creeps in the Art Therapy room at the local Hoo-Hah Hilton. Art, my ass......

[ChainSmirker]

Is this testing whether I'm a replicant, or a drunk, Mister Deckard?

Anyway, I'm just some philistine who had no idea who Julian Schabel is, but now I know he's a self-important, pretentious idiot. So rare in Hollywood.

[CAM]

Awesome! What has the world come to when someone has to enter rehab due to honest communication?

[ARS1345]

Wow, Jerry O'Donnell gets props and laughs for making a video ridiculing Tom Cruise, yet Sean Young needs rehab for doing the same thing...but to their face. Lets be honest...Julian needed to get on with it.

[D. Kelly]

That guy deserved it! He ...was....basking..........in the glory.........of the .......big win. Get over yourself!

who said that to me? I am a god, don't speak to me!

[tlon]

The guy is a pompous buffoon who makes totally sucky films. He should also lose some weight. Sean Young rules.

[Zip]

If that guy wants to be treated like an artist, with the respect that goes along with it, he should act like a respectable artists, instead of acting like a buffoon with an over-inflated messiah complex!!!

Sean Young should be given a special DGA Award for interupting that obnoxious fraud of a speech, a tragic comedy of masturbatory self glory by a director with too much phallic ego, and time, in his hands. The DGA should take out a full page ad in all the trade papers thanking Sean for putting some sanity back into award shows...and for being bold enough to say what everyone else in that audience was truly thinking!!!

Sean, you shouldn't be in rehab right now, you should be running for President!!!

[jk]

WHAT A LOSER....
HIS FILMS SUCK ANYHOW
MRS. YOUNG WAS ON THE MONEY, "get on with it".

WHAT A LOSER

[Dave]

He's another "complex & slightly scatter -brained artist" who usually gets a pass at acting stupid & befuddled, but this time Sean woke his pretentious ass up!.

[Anon]

His film was great and he should have won.

Sean is and has always been an ill-mannered ass.

[slinkybender]

Julian Schnabel is a talentless charlatan kept afloat by the pretensions of 500 rich people and a corrupt art scene.

Sean Young, at least, used to be hot.

[GC]

Sean,

Your the best! We love you and your movies.

Stay strong.

[Georgann Marks]

I LOVE Sean Young - she heckled a Jew in Hollywood... oh the crime of it.

She is an outcast because she is so smart, tough and insightful. I bet the knives are out today.

Ya gotta love her. He is a pompous ass.

[Jim in Florida]

It's kind of obvious all these pro-Sean Young posts are being made by one person.

[Rain]

Dear Mr. Schnabel:

You live in a little bubble world in which it has clearly been deemed to be cool to be a phallus.

Trust me on this: Nobody thinks you're interesting. Nobody is impressed. Everyone considers you a walking (wobbling), talking (mumbling) stereotype -- the pretentious and self-aborbed "arteest."

Can you hear that? Listen closer. It's everyone laughing at YOU -- and applauding HER.

Have a day.

[Darrell Kern]

I have met Sean on several occasions and she is fabulous! I have run into her drunk and sober- and she is exactly the same!

Still she should not have gone to the event when she cannot help herself. Whether or not Julian deserved the treatment he got (Once could argue manners on both sides of the etiquette coin). Sean was there to get a job, she's over 45 years old (almost certain death for actresses, unless you have an Oscar)- so one has to ask was there a young, hip, fresh director who was impressed by her outrageous truth snapping to show she has the life inside to capture the energy of his next leading lady?

I hope so- cause Sean frickin' rocks! She must resort to dirty tricks to get work- Do any of you know how tuff Hollywood is? Not really- you probably do not realize how nearly impossible it is to stay in the game with Christopher Nassif as the emeritus slouch topping the bill at your talent agents office. God, I am surprised she didn't have to swing from a chandelier with a pickle in her mouth to get press!

When you are represented by Diverse Talent Agency you have to do something- because they are as useless as tits on a boar!

Go Sean.

[Pat]

Julian S. needed a knee to the groin but that would have done no good because it is certain that he doesn't have a "pair."
Somebody, quick, next time you see him at Starbuck's; throw a Venti Americano into his face!

[Dennis Hart]

I'm not sure which party belongs in rehab...

[Andrew Zuber]

It's too bad a lot of people aren't getting the point of this. Whether or not you like Julian is irrelevant - a 45-year old actress should know how to behave herself in a public setting better than that. There's far too much immaturity in Hollywood, and sadly this shows that it stems beyond the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. Grow up, Sean.

[Young fan]

SEAN YOUNG IS THE BEST!!!!! That guy is a bore.

[per1]

"Who said that to me?"

as if saying it to you is different than saying it to anyone else.

What a conceited jerk!

[barnacle]

Hehe. All it takes is a link from Drudge to bring in the hillbilly monkeys. Their Fox News baseball caps barely containing the sweat seeping from their furrowed, Cro-Magnon-like brows, they angrily fumble through the muddy recesses of their puddle-deep minds, scoop out a fingerful of anti-semitic vomit, smear it onto their computer keyboard and toothlessly smile like retarded children.

[Ex-Hollywood]

Julian Schnabel made terrible art. Julian Schnabel makes good movies. Sean Young is a charming nutter and shouldn't have done this.

But I loathe those narcissistic, disrespectful acceptance speeches from those who show up pretending to have not obsessed about the award for days which of course they did, then stammer and babble as if unprepared. Forest Whitaker did it at every single awards show last year. You are grown men, you make a living in art/media/communications, we KNOW you know how to talk. You're just not fooling anyone.

[Juan]

The truth is all these so called entertainers are not different than a whore. It doesn't matter if they sing, dance, direct or act. They are paid to do a job, just get on with it and keep your mouth shut. I don't want to hear your view on politics, religion or world peace. JUST DO YOUR JOB.

[Jasper Johns]

The guy has always bored the crap out of me.

[mark jones]

more Hollywood piffle.....what a laugh!

[Juan]

per1 sounds like another liberal azz hole who hates everyone including his/her self. Claims to looking out for the little guy that the bad capitalist is taking advantage of but manages to insult animals, baseball fans, cave men and best of all handicapped children in one post. Hate, hate, hate. That's all they know.

[Tate]

I used to work for him (won't say doing what exactly) and the guy was brutal. Sean baby I wish I would have had the koo-koo nuts to have done what you did. Maybe I wouldn't have needed two affairs and $20,000 worth of vicodin to deal with the arrogant pig.

[flashman]

Did all you people just come out of a NOW meeting? Sean Young is a psycho B-lister has-been who's desperately trying to rescusitate a career that was DOA in the 80's. My real questions are: who in the hell let her in the door in the first place and how did she get within farting distance of the stage? Don't these events have some sort of "celebrity police" in place? You know, to keep guys like Pauly Shore or Corey Feldman from sneaking in? Jesus, Sean Young doesn't have enough star power to get in the local Applebee's, let alone the Directors' Guild Awards.

[juan]

Sorry per1, that was barnacle that managed to show their true colors. Colors that run in a mist.

[Sam]

Now I know why I don't watch these award shows. Why do actors and directors think they're owed something and anybody cares about what they're saying. A mentor, teacher or a coach these are people contributing to society not these idots with their inflated egos.

[hollyweirdsucks]

Paul H. that was priceless. I was LOL!

[Greg Buls]

1. The people posting comments here, by and large, are salt of the earth ass-kickers. Normal people see this schlub simpering and primping with his "buttered toast" hair (good one, bro!), and keeping all of the good people at home and in the audience captive to his little show, and wonder, "What is wrong with this strutting peacock?" Someone wrote that they were dismayed that there was an outburst, and that the people posting here are siding with Ms. Young. It's true that in a more gilded age, the audience would suffer silently through his little act. But in that age, the man would have been shunned, at least privately, by almost everyone watching. He might have been a duke or an earl, but people would have gone out of their way to avoid being in his presence. Today, he's worshiped by the hollywood crowd.
2. Mr. schlemazel met his schlemiel and hollywood pooped its pants. Someone get them a binky.

[Deb-U-Taunt]

I can't believe he didn't wear his pajamas to the DGA, like he usually does.

They should have given him a broken plate. (art reference)

[Peter]

The guy made a beautiful film out of a great book. Give him the credit he deserves.

[Deb-U-Taunt]

Yes, Tate, Sean Young is bat-shit crazy and it is difficult to pick an actual favorite in this battle, that's true. But I hate Schnabel's mental-patient art, his movies are really directed by his cinematographer and I met his dirty-leg daughter once when she was going with Viggo Mortensen. She touched my dress and I've never been able to get the grease spot out.

I'm going with Sean on this one.

[Roughrider]

Never heard of him and she is a lunatic BUT I will say that as soon as he approached the podium I could smell pretentiousness emanating off of my monitor. He stood there and absorbed the moment as if he was the damn Pope.

[Sean, you rock!]

Zip and Kate, you said it best. It's ironic how this entire thread supports Sean Young! JS was absolutely arrogant and over the top. That pseudo-haze facade went on and on and on. Sign me up as a new Sean Young fan. This guy had NO respect for the audience OR his peers.

[Juan]

"DrudgeReport links ensure the most uneducated, illiterature American fucks make dumbass comments. Great. Love to hear political commentary by some Goddamn turbofuck in Ohio who barely got a high school education."

There you go, another liberal spreading love for their fellow human beings. Why do they always have to resort to cursing??
HATER, HATER, HATER

[Regina]

What's up with the love for Sean Young and the hate for Julian? He's talented, unlike her. She craves for attention.

[Ian]

I gotta find out more about this. who is this guy?

[M]

Hard to make a decent speech with a writers strike going on ;-)

[Big_Rob]

Bah! Heres what it all boils down to.

Sean Young is a milf (Id hit it!) and can get away with it. Julian Schnabel on the other hand is just another one of those artsy-fartsy types that get mad when you criticize their crappy self proclaimed "art".

BTW, "Diving Bell and the Butterfly" was an extremely BORING movie that was better at putting me to sleep than melatonin

[flashman]

Uh, that was me ripping on Sean Young, Deb-U-Taunt, not Tate. But trust me, I'm not defending that no-talent ass clown Schnabel. I just take it for granted that your average Hollywood artsy-fartsy director is going somewhat of a prick in person. Schnabel has an uncanny resemblance to my fatass unemployed neighbor who won't shut his fucking dog up at 4am, so it's no surprise to me his fat clone would also be a social retard. I was just amazed that Sean Young got through the crack security forces at a Hollywood event. Way to go, guys. What, did Frankie Munoz cancel at the last minute?

[Pogue Mahone]

I've rarely seen such a thin-skinned baby! He wants to take his toys and go home because someone interrupted his little kissy-kissy look-at-me drama session! Maybe he should put down the lipstick and get out of his little fully-mirrored room and acquire some modesty or humility or even do something for someone underprivileged somewhere. What an intolerably pompous ass! He doesn't even have half a clue how stupid he looks to normal people outside of his little fishbowl. And the other woman has always been a complete space cadet. The whole lot them would not be missed if a meteor hit the middle of Hollywood, but at least the country's and the world's morals would improve measurably in a flash in their absence!

[Wills]

The libs are angry because they can hear the hiss of the air leaving their political balloon and see on the horizon a huge sunami called John McCain. Bite it Libs.

[Blue States]

Who is Schnabel? What the heck is "Diving Bell and the Butterfly"? I don't remember it in the theatres.

[Baba Booey]

I smell a reality TV show....

[Observer of The Sickeningly Self-Entitled]

"Schnabel"?!? Is that a name? Or is it the sound that that soft pudgy young thing makes when he's not among the people he employs and pays badly to abuse, but rather when he's face down out in the real world being preyed upon by healthy self-sufficient human specimens? Can you just IMAGINE how obnoxious that guy must be everywhere he goes every day, from the time he wakes in the morning, to the privilege he demands from restaurant staff or peons or anyone he thinks he has a right to abuse? Typical Hollywood garbage - no concern for ANYONE but themselves! Served it right!

[Wade Collins]

If central casting was to create a more cliched, pompous, arrogant, fat & flatuent piece of human garbage its Schnabel. Sean Young,I love you.

[Sarah]

So how did Schnabel's voluminous speech, as represented by the sheaf of yellow notebook paper (classy!) make it to the podium before him? Did the guy whose head he kissed leave it there, like a good lackey? I'll bet he sure enjoyed being infantilized by the ovearbearing Schnabel grabbing him in a wrestling hold and kissing the top of his head.

I already loved Sean Young for her beauty and acting ability, if not for her self-destructive tendencies. She is the only one in Hollywood who EVER tells it like it is, to her own detriment. However, it sounds to me as if for once her public outburst was justified. Schnabel seems to be a total ass. "Who said that TO ME?" (I am the great and mighty Oz .....)

[DeLive R. Ants]

If that dude isn't the Hollywood version of the Ned Beatty character in the movie Deliverance, I don't know what is! Lookee, this big soft one'd shore look good rollin' in tha mud, Billy Bob! Squeal like a pig!

[zazza]

priceless : schnable is a fat, dwindling phoney and SEAN YOUNG MADE HISTORY WITH BLADERUNNER

[ddhinnyc]

Sean Young is hillarious!

[Pope Buttbiscuit III]

"I know you. You're Julian Schnabel! You used to be in pictures. You used to be big!"

"I AM big!!!! It's humankind, God, the universe, and my underpants that got small!"

"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."

"Set the camera at one mile just to attain focus."

[flashman]

Sean Young made history with Bladerunner? Ha ha, sorry zazza, but that's pretty funny. Ridley Scott made history with Bladerunner. Harrison Ford made history with Bladerunner. Sean Young had about as much to do with making Bladerunner great as the kid who delivered Subway sandwiches to the set every day during filming. Let's not start putting her up on a pedestal with people who, you know, have actually won oscars in their career or who can actually carry movies all by themselves.

[U NO HOO]

"Sean Young vs. Julian Schnabel"

Who/what are these people?

The guy on screen needs a shampoo and hair cut and then another shampoo.

[U NO HOO]

Oh yeah, what is DGA?

I enjoyed and agree with all the Schnabel abuse, but the blown-out lush Sean Young was outta line.

If you're going to attend these stupid affairs; kiss Joan River's box, smile at the dozens of adoring fans, drink your medicine,and drive back to the Valley.

Actually Rehab is the new hip acting school, I see plenty of work ahead; think Brittany with hot flashes. Call me.

-Slam

[Johnny]

This show, these people are newsworthy? Who actually cares about any of this? If you really care about this, then you need to get a life!

[Not a sean young fan]

anyone else remember when sean young wouldn't stop campaigning for the part of catwoman in batman returns? as I recall, she went so far as to make her own catwoman suit and virtually stalk tim burton.

SEAN YOUNG IS CRAZY, FOLKS.

[b train]

i love the pompous music as that fat fuck gets onstage to accept his award and self-importantly two-cheek-kiss the guy that's giving the award.

i have LOVED every minute of this strike, every time i hear something positive about it i cringe. i want you all to starve to death.

your movies blow anyay.

[Johnny Hater]

You are the epitome of what is wrong with liberal America. Just like Schnabel, you think you are the most important person in the room--always. You are a mean-spirited tart who believes that you are smart simply because everyone else is dumb. Your smarmy attitude adds nothing to the discussion at large. There are no "red states" and "blue states". In fact, a study by county would show that the vast majority of the U.S. is indeed red.

[Juan]

Hey Americans should be gassed, just so you know Johnny Hater is talking about you. And just as I said, your post just proves you hate everyone, including yourself you wasted piece of non-humanity.

Another enlightening comment from our drink the liberal kool-aid, "we know what's best for you and your hard-earned dollars" friend on the left....maybe Billy Boy will let you feel his pain, since he's already felt yours...unga-wunga-wunga ;)

[Sean Stalker]

Sean Young is touched by God. I read a great interview of her in Wired I think it was.

The whole interview she's bitchin and moanin about how she missed the boat in Hollywood and then as she is leaving a "starling" or some kind of finch like bird gets caught up in her hair leaving her to flail away at it walking away!

Gene Simmons and her should do a show of some kind. That would be dynamite. She would tear him a new one.

[kate]

Sean Young’s wicked. Who can witness that and not be wowed by David lobbing pebbles at Goliath?

Schabeal is grotesque and unable to see past the mist of his self-importance.

Sean's career was crushed by a misogynist, poisonously manipulative industry before I was born, but since being introduced to her, her biography, and her dynamic interviews on youtube by this spectacle, she's one of the few actresses I'd go to the movies to watch.

And I’m guessing that I’m not the only member of a newly minted, rebellious minded, youthful fan-base. Money-interested industry leaders and courageous producers, take note.

[Juan]

Did I mention I'm named after a greasy beaner? Deport my ass, as I've nothing to contribute to society.

[Lisa]

Heck, I probably would've said the same to him if I were sober!

[Just Clarifying]

To folks jumping all over liberals - didn't the pseudo-political rightwing Hollywood bashing begin long before someone so eloquently named "Americans Should Be Gassed" or what have you go on a tirade? Look, I'm a registered Republican, but good God Almighty, all the back-and-forth is what's wrong with politics today.

[kate]

To all the people who came here via Drudge's link, cheack out a book called,"What's the matter with Kansas"

You're being manipulated by elitist Rupurt Murdoch types through his mouth-piece,Drudge, to betray yourslef and your self-interest.

It's not the "hollyweirds" who killed the family farm, it's the corporate food insutry, their pay-offs to the govt. which ended the ecomomic controls, fought for by your father's generation, and made it impssoble for our generation's small farmers to exist.

Diverting your class based rage to fatuous, cebrities is a hat trick to distract you fromthe real enemy.

[Senator Jimmy Scortum]

"And I’m guessing that I’m not the only member of a newly minted, rebellious minded, youthful fan-base. Money-interested industry leaders and courageous producers, take note. "

This is the dumbest, most non-sensical statement on this comment page ... and there are quite a few of those.

[Brother WE]

I recall a line from the Broadway Musical "Ragtime".
"Hey Schnabel, take your head out of your ass."
Whoa, A true case of Art imitating Life. Well, at least life in Hollywood.

[Bartender61]

Just shut up an take your shot so you can at least think in the morning.

[Infilm]

What's news? Just Sean being Sean. Only this time she got caught in public. Sad.

[david]

I hope Sean Young is OK. The guy is an asshole and an awful public speaker. He's lucky most of the audience members are tools, unlike Sean.

Sean Young - You need to stop posting here, hun, and get on with what you are supposed to be doing in rehab.

I don't give a rats's ass about Julian Schnabel, however, if a person is going to attend an AWARDS SHOW, then that person had better be ready to hear quite a few long pauses, boring speeches and arrogant remarks from many unpleasant and narcissistic people. And do so in a bored but polite fashion, keeping his or her own mouth SHUT! It's common courtesy. What Sean Young did was inexcusably rude. When she wins an award, she may make her speech in any way she pleases, but when someone ELSE has won an award, he or she may make their speech in any way they please as well. If she dislikes the person's style of speaking, that's too bad, heckling is never appropriate.

"Get to it" is what I'm hearing, and I would have said it myself, if I had the guts to.
To the FEW Julian Schnabel supporters, art imitates life, and the comments here are quite apparent. People are tired of being repressed sheep and going along with everything WITHOUT QUESTION. Sean Yong was a breath of fresh air and said aloud what EVERYONE was thinking but dared not become the center of "bad" attention.

What a pompous ass Schnabel is. Sean Young basically blurted out what everyone else was thinking. They just weren't drunk enough to say it. Liquour's good sometimes! Boo Schnabel!!

When I first heard about this I thought Sean Young was being rude. After seeing the video, I realized Sean Young was doing what was necessary. She was the only one in the room with the guts to say what needed to be said to that pretentious, painfully self-rightous "director". Awesome attitude! If I was a rich producer or director, I'd hire her on the spot! Too bad there are not more hot women in Hollywood who decline to buy kneepads for parts, and actually say what's on there minds. Sean Young rules!!!!

[huhuhuhuhuh]

"It's too bad a lot of people aren't getting the point of this. Whether or not you like Julian is irrelevant - a 45-year old actress should know how to behave herself in a public setting better than that. There's far too much immaturity in Hollywood, and sadly this shows that it stems beyond the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. Grow up, Sean."

Well said.

Also it does seem to be the Sean Young fan club of one is making repeated posts. lol. loser.

How sad that The Hollywood Reporter aspires to be TMZ. Equally telling is all the folks weighing in on this that aren't in the industry. For all the complaining about "The Media" making fake celebrities out of Hilton and pursuing Spears, it's the yahoo's making mean-spirited comments like these that help this culture of dirt thrive.

Anonymity makes cowards puff out their chests and speak up when the shouldn't.

[Wade Collins]

"bob" you sound like another out-of-work- producer wannabe. Schnabel is a pretentious turd, and Sean Young was right.

[Salvatore Blanccinni]

Julian Schnabel the whole world knows who you are because of Sean Young!

[nita]

Whether or not Schnabel is a pretentious bore is beside the point. Shouting out during an event is unacceptable. Sure Sean "chose" one person who "deserved" a taste of his own medicine. But what about the others who were on the receiving end of her shouting? She really wasn't being discriminatory, and had no other goal but to cause a disturbance and draw attention to herself. She reminds me of many current day youths who are the victims of liberal child rearing practices. Well, there comes a day when even victims must take responsibility for their own behaviour. At 48 years old, Sean should have learned basic manners from life's experiences even if her parents failed to educate her in this area. It seems to me that the rod was spared, and thus the child was spoiled. But it isn't too late for correction. She acted like a misbehaving child and ought to be treated as one. A good spanking would do her good.

Shcnabel is precisley the kind of sanctimonious, self-important bore who distances anything potentially entertaining or compelling from his audiences (both in film and on canvas) by his incomprehension of pace or timing. His public speaking is as deadly as his films. I suppose the fatter the buffoon, the bigger the Emporer's new clothes become. Schnabel has espoused the "honesty of art" (a joke coming from him). The only truly honesty came from Young (and the majority of the audience echo her sentiments.

Poor Sean Young in her cat woman suit 15 years ago, now this. But hey, she's still hanging in there, adding touches of humor amidst the dull plodding of new flavors passing through the invisible gates of Hollywood. Hey, she has a sense of humor. As for the director, it's only a prize.

[Disco Stu]
