Whatever the award, it's always sad when the recipient gets played off the stage by the orchestra. Either the person isn't important enough to use so much time, or the important person used too much damn time that they've got to get them to shut the hell up. Whatever the case, there should be a second subset of instructions for the orchestra.
If the recipient, such as Hillary Swank accepting her award for best actress, gets so far down her list that she mentions her friggin' lawyers, then the orchestra should play her off the stage
immediately.
