Short first-person anecdote (James Laughlin) about attending the Sony Awards: the speaker recounts a moment of uncertainty during the ceremony's dinner break when they expected stage time but were not given it, and contemplated refusing the award by unexpectedly going on stage after the break and hijacking the microphone to give an uninvited speech.

When I go back to the Sony Awards. I had a moment there during the break, the dinner break at the ceremony where I didn't know what to do. I thought, they will give me stage time. They didn't. And then there was the dinner break that kind of saved me. And then I thought, what do I do now? And the only way to refuse the award was to go on stage after the dinner break uninvitedly and to go to the microphone, hijack the microphone and do my speech.
