John Waters Celebrated At Writers Guild Awards

Veteran filmmaker John Waters, was lauded for his contribution to the cinema at Writers Guild Awards. He was particularly appreciated for battling film censors and going solo as an independent filmmaker out of Baltimore in the 1970s. The event had all the top names from the industry, to honour the deserving writers.

He addressed the gathering and said, “Every single weekday I get up at 6 a.m. and go into my writing room and think up something f—– up. In the afternoon I go try and sell it. Isn’t that what all writers do?” Waters added: “Writing is the only part of filmmaking I really love”.

Waters confessed that he was afraid of the guild for a long time. He said that he felt that at some point he would be ‘taken off to some writers’ jail in a place like Burbank.’ However, now he considers himself to be a ‘militant member.’ The 70-year-old filmmaker even suggested few suggestions for the WGA to demand in its upcoming contract negotiations.
