Welcome to the 70th Annual Writers Guild Awards. Thank you for joining us for our Platinum Anniversary.

The Writers Guild Awards are about elevating the words of writers. The WGAE brings us together to honor some of the best work that our members have produced in the past year. Tonight we celebrate their talent and ingenuity.

Although this has been a challenging time for much of organized labor, the WGA has actually grown stronger. Along with negotiating a successful MBA contract, the Writers Guild of America, East organized, and will soon have staff contracts covering, more than one thousand new digital news members. This is a category of writing that the WGAE didn’t even cover a few years ago. So tonight, at a time when reporters and news outlets are under fire by the administration, we will present the Guild’s first-ever Digital News Award, honoring the finest work by these new members.

We’re happy to be back at the Edison Ballroom for the fifth time, as we continue to add to this venue’s colorful history. The Edison got its 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, 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 Co-, Shannon Walker, the show’s incredible , Ann Cohen and the rest of our talented writing team, as well as our dedicated Awards Committee and tireless WGAE staff, particularly Marsha Seeman, Dana Weissman, Nancy Hathorne, Jenna Bond, Jason Gordon and Molly Beer, the crew, all 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

WGAE Journal 2018.indd 5 1/31/18 12:04 PM As we gather to celebrate our members’ best work, it’s a good time to reflect on the broader context – creative, professional, cultural, political.

This is a time of unprecedented opportunity to craft scripted programming. Although gigs on traditional long-season, network prime time shows remain the gold standard, economically, the creative possibilities offered by cable and SVOD companies have expanded enormously. And SVOD companies – mostly and – have leapt into the world of feature films, not only as distributors but also as commissioners of original feature-length projects. The late-night comedy/variety universe has become even more essential to making sense of the world of “politics” (or whatever it is that’s happening inside the Beltway). Our broadcast news members have more than held their own despite the transformation of that industry, and we have organized so aggressively, and so successfully, in digital news that we now represent more than 1000 people who write, edit, and produce video content for digital-native companies.

But back to “politics”. It’s positively trite to point out that, if one of our members pitched a show in which the Commander in Chief paid off a porn star, mocked world leaders, referred to tens of millions of people as “rapists” and “criminals” who come from countries that, er, lack modern sewer services – no one would buy the premise. It’s the new abnormal, where gratuitous taunts supplant policy-making. And heaven protect those feckless journalists who dare challenge this surreal new world; they’re all purveyors of “fake news”.

OK, so the WGAE doesn’t endorse candidates, or oppose them. But we do value truth, and we do think that narratives should help make sense of how life can or should or might be lived. So our members’ work is more vital than ever. It is very gratifying to be part of a union that fights for the folks doing this work.

And it is gratifying to be part of a union that takes diversity seriously. As a movement person, I recognize a groundswell when I see one, and the passion and anger that has been unleashed by revelations about sexual violence in our industry feels truly transformative to me. The rage is no longer pent up, and people are fired up. I hope this will give even more momentum to our efforts to address the vast imbalance of power and representation throughout the industry; that’s the only way to ensure that everyone is safe and valued, and everyone can do their work with dignity and respect.

In Solidarity,

Lowell Peterson Executive Director
