New York Film Critics Circle Awards: Steve McQueen Heckled By Film Critic

A member of the New York Film Critics Circle put a damper on the group's 69th annual awards ceremony when he heckled a winner from the audience. From the back of the Edison Hotel Ballroom in Gotham, Armond White, the controversial film critic for CityArts, yelled at Steve McQueen, the NYFCC's best director winner for 12 Years a Slave, "You’re an embarrassing doorman and garbage man. F— you. Kiss my ass," according to a Variety reporter seated near him.

The outburst from White, who has behaved similarly at past NYFCC ceremonies and has derided McQueen's film since October, could not be heard from the front of the room and did not interrupt the proceedings. McQueen had just taken the stage following a passionate introduction from the legendary Harry Belafonte that left the director in tears and stole the show up to that point.
