Well now that's just mean. Imagine being crowned as Best Director at the Palm Springs awards one night, then hecked as a 'garbage man' when you pick up a similar gong the next night? Well that's what's happened to poor Steve McQueen, the man behind 12 Years a Slave, Shame, Hunger and more.
As per Variety, while at the New York Critics Circle awards last night, Steve McQueen was heckled to devastating effect by a well known (and controversial) American critic who labelled the director "an embarrassing doorman and garbage man".
Nice.
The critic is said to go by the name of Armond White and edits a publication called CityArts and what's more, he's a former host of these coveted awards. While McQueen rose to accept his Best Director award, White shouted: "You're an embarrassing doorman and garbage man. F*ck you. Kiss my ass."
Word on the street says White quite enjoys going against the grain so it would appear that he's hating on McQueen purely because of his recent success; the worst type of critic.
Sounds to me like such abuse should not be tolerated at a ceremony like this and if he's going to go shooting his mouth of (this isn't the first time) he shouldn't be invited. Who does he think he is?
