- Earned the nicknames "Redhead Kanye" and "Lady Kanye" for her speech at The 82nd Annual Academy Awards (2010). The nicknames are a reference to Ye's interruption of Taylor Swift's MTV Awards speech.
- Was given a nomination credit for the winning short film documentary Music by Prudence (2010) at The 82nd Annual Academy Awards (2010). Despite removing herself from the project a year earlier, filing a lawsuit against the film's director Roger Ross Williams over creative differences and severing all involvement with the production of the film, Burkett attended the event, stormed the stage and interrupted the director's award acceptance speech to give her own ad-libbed acceptance speech.
