Was it wrong for the Oscars to play "So long, farewell" in the middle of someone's acceptance speech?

Question

You know, the song from 'the sound of music'.
They played it to get someone off stage while they were in the middle of their acceptance speech!

Any other song would have been fine - but come on, 'so long, farewell'? they might have just as well yanked them off with a cane or shouted "NEXT!"

Anyone agree?

Answer 1

It's always been Oscar tradition to play music whenever someone runs too long with their speech. Who cares what song they played? That's actually quite humourous.
