If anything contradicts actor and livewire Sean Young's strenuous denial that she was being a nuisance on Oscars night, and one who eventually warranted police intervention, it's probably Sean's Facebook wall full of celebrity-scalp pictures, snapped that evening by herself. One arm wrapped stiffly around the neck of her quarry, the other outstretched to snap the shot. Sean's face beatific, Sandra Bullock's face similar to the face I use to greet the cat plodding down the garden with a decaying starling. Sean's face excited to see an old friend, Nick Nolte's face broodingly furious, a bit like Godzilla being tormented by a helicopter.
But it's the shot of Sean sandwiched between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that wins outright on the lol-scale. If there's any woman in the western world less up for killing time while your flash charges, being told to squeeze in and forced to pose for blurred shots she has no approval on, it's Angelina. Month upon month, Jolie becomes more gloriously Hans Christian Anderson, swishing about red carpets, all bones and blood-red lipstick; she's a bonhomie-free zone.
Into the mix throw Sean Young's roving camera. "I want everyone to know I was sober, well-behaved, when a very stupid security guard went postal," says Sean on Facebook. It's a pity she was cut off before doing the timeless "Gotcha! Rabbit ears!" gag behind funtimes Angelina's head.
