GREETING WELCOME TO THE 72ND ANNUAL WRITERS GUILD AWARDS! Tonight is important because it’s the only night during awards season that solely focusses on the work of the writers— the foundation of our industry. It’s also a special night because it’s the only time of the year when writers from all the genres that the Writers Guild of America, East represents—both news and entertainment—get to congregate together in one place and celebrate each other’s talent and accomplishments. We’re happy to be back at the Edison Ballroom, with its brand new party space for our cocktail hour -- which in a previous life was Lenny Kravitz’s recording studio. The main ballroom of the Edison also has a colorful history. It got its start as a music club in the 1930s, featuring the era’s top Swing bands. Then, in the 1990s it briefly became The Supper Club, hosting everyone from Tony Bennett to David Bowie. In the interim, it was the Edison Theatre, home to many Broadway shows, including the infamous “Oh! Calcutta!” I’m thrilled that you’re here to celebrate at our annual event, but as someone who is also a member of the WGAE’s Council, I want to urge you to not let this be your only way of engaging with the Guild. I encourage you to become involved with the WGAE’s committees and caucuses as well as its career training sessions, activities and organizing campaigns. My deepest congratulations to all tonight’s winners and nominees. I’d like to give my heartfelt appreciation to our brilliant host and all our presenters. I’d also like to thank my amazing fellow Executive Producer, Shannon Walker, the show’s incredible Head Writer, Ann Cohen, our talented Producer Caroline Waxler and the rest of our great writing team, as well as our dedicated Awards Committee and tireless WGAE staff, particularly Marsha Seeman, Dana Weissman, Nancy Hathorne, Jenna Bond, Jason Gordon, Molly Beer, the crew, all of tonight’s volunteers, my fellow Council members, my very patient husband Chris and everyone else involved in making tonight’s show possible. In Solidarity, Bonnie Datt Chair, WGAE Awards Committee 5
The Writers Guild of America, East is a union that knows how to fight. THE We know how to organize. We know how to negotiate. We know how to mobilize our members for some of the SHOW most important struggles of our time. HOSTED BY JOHN FUGELSANG We are also a union that knows how to celebrate. And that’s what we are doing tonight. Celebrating the joyous, funny, tragic, difficult, powerful, P RES ENT ERS enlightening, enraging, complicated work that our members do. The programs and films and pieces that entertain and inform and challenge us. Kevin Bacon Samantha Bee Without compelling stories, without narratives that engage audiences and readers, the entertainment and news industry would not amount to much. Jimmy Fallon Nobody would be talking about Peak TV, or franchise movies, or the Tony Gilroy promise and challenge of streaming video on demand, or the ongoing transformation of the news business. The industry would not employ Sam Heughan hundreds of thousands of people who earn good salaries and pay taxes and Sunny Hostin spend money in their communities across the United States and the globe. Dominique Jackson And people would not have well-crafted narratives to help them make Natasha Lyonne sense of politics and relationships and the climate and identity and what it Sienna Miller means to be human. The entertainment and news industry isn’t only about Tim Blake Nelson selling subscriptions and advertising (and, increasingly, about getting access to customers’ personal data, but that’s another story). People build a sense Amy Poehler of self and community through stories, and our members’ work is an Amber Ruffin essential part of that lifelong process. That’s important stuff. Well worth a night of celebration. Ramy Youssef In Solidarity, ANNO U NCER Nancy Giles Lowell Peterson Executive Director FEBRUARY 1, 2020 7
