Kanye and Taylor Swift ... staged or not?

Here's the breakdown: Taylor Swift wins the award for "Best Female Video". She comes up to the stage, begins her congratulatory speech then Kanye steals the microphone and the attention to give his opinion, saying that Beyonce (Knowles) has the best video ... and proceeds to leave the stage.

Some thoughts while watching this (and several times after on YouTube) are:
  • what the hell was he doing up there without security chasing after him for the 30 seconds he was talking?
  • taking the former into consideration, could this be a ravenous ploy for attention from the media?
  • was it staged?
  • lastly, what do you say after something like that?! ... "eugh, yeah. sooo ... this is awkward. kthxbai!"
Apparently he is being withheld by security after the incident, but what will happen to him or his career? Would this generate enough publicity that it could possibly benefit him in one way or another? What consequences does he deserve? I personally think his history speaks for his future.
