No...it's "I saw HER leave." ...one of my pet peeves is when they use "I" instead of "me"...thinking that it's more proper. ..like.." They gave the award to her and I". You should take out the other person and say it. You wouldn't say "They gave the award to I"..would you? See how wrong that sounds.? OK...that's my Grammar lesson for today...no charge!!

"I saw her leave" is correct.
The person on TV may have been playing someone with a limited understanding of English grammar, or a dialect from another English-speaking country.

Not right. It is, "I saw her leave."

It's "i saw her leave" unless the person who was leaving name was "She" then it would be fine, and she would need to be capitalized.

It should be, "I saw her leave."

No, this is not a proper sentence. It should be, "I saw her leave."
