Two can play at this game, Academy.

Polish-British filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film Sunday night and decided he doesn't give a damn about the Academy's intrusive wrap-it-off music. Despite acknowledging that the music was cuing him off, he kept talking, even bringing up his late wife and parents as the music ended.

Then, since he finally got that annoying music to stop, he decided to keep talking. Until the music played him off, again. What a boss.

It's all fun and games now, but when the Oscars broadcast runs eight hours, we'll know who to blame.
