Oliver Stone Gives Impassioned Speech at WGA Awards: It’s Not Just Trump, ‘But a System’
The Writers Guild Awards on Sunday night took a cue from the rest of awards season in being fairly Trump-heavy, including several shots at the commander-in-chief. But Oliver Stone , who was on hand at the WGAW ceremony to accept the Laurel Award, gave a more bipartisan critique of America in an impassioned message to young filmmakers.
After being introduced by James Wood, Stone told reminded filmmakers that “you can be critical of your government and your society.”
“You don’t have to fit in,” the Oscar-winner went on. “It’s fashionable now to take shots at Republicans and Trump and avoid the Obamas and Clintons. But remember this: In the 13 wars we’ve started over the last 30 years and the $14 trillion we’ve spent, and the hundreds of thousands of lives that have perished from this earth, remember that it wasn’t one leader, but a system, both Republican and Democrat. Call it what you will: the military industrial money media security complex. It’s a system that has been perpetuated under the guise that these are just wars justifiable in the name of our flag that flies so proudly.”

Stone continued that our “country has become more prosperous for many but in the name of that wealth we cannot justify our system as a center for the world’s values. But we continue to create such chaos and wars. No need to go through the victims, but we know we’ve intervened in more than 100 countries with invasion, regime change, economic chaos. Or hired war. It’s war of some kind. In the end, it’s become a system leading to the death of this planet and the extinction of us all.”
He concluded with advice based on his own experiences. “I’ve fought these people who practice war for most of my life. It’s a tiring game. And mostly you’ll get your a– kicked. With all the criticism and insults you’ll receive, and the flattery too, it’s important to remember, if you believe in what you’re saying and you can stay the course, you can make a difference,” he said.
“I urge you to find a way to remain alone with yourself, listen to your silences, not always in a writer’s room. Try to find not what the crowd wants so you can be successful, but try instead to find the true inner meaning of your life here on earth, and never give up on your heart in your struggle for peace, decency, and telling the truth.”
Stone has never been one to shy away from politics — to say the very least. During a speech at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in November, the “Snowden” director made a point to reference national security under a Trump administration. “The surveillance state, ‘1984,’ cyberwarfare, drone warfare is with us,” he said at the time. He’s been open about his political beliefs, and voted for Jill Stein in the 2016 presidential election.

Watch Aaron Sorkin Tear Down Trump in a Powerful Stump Speech
By Yohana Desta
Months after penning a fiery letter to his daughters about Donald Trump ’s surprising electoral win, __Aaron Sorkin is ready to lambast the president once more. At the Writer’s Guild Awards West Coast ceremony on Sunday, the Oscar-winning writer was on hand to receive the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award. Fittingly, he used the majority of his time on stage to deliver a Network -inspired acceptance speech, blasting conservative rhetoric about “coastal elites” and what “real Americans” believe. Sorkin also handily addressed attacks on mainstream media outlets and refugees “seeking a safe haven”—all without mentioning Trump directly by name. The anti-POTUS theme was also deeply felt at the Writer’s Guild Award ceremony in New York City, held simultaneously with the one in Los Angeles—where comedians like Lewis Black openly mocked the president and his inner circle.
Sorkin’s award was warmly presented by Newsroom star Jeff Daniels . “Great writers have singular voice, a command of the craft, and something to say. That’s Aaron Sorkin,” Daniels said before welcoming Sorkin to the stage.
Sorkin thanked the Guild, his former collaborators, and his managerial team before getting to politics. “From time to time, I write stories about politics, and so it was suggested to me that I might have something to say about the situation in which we currently find ourselves. It’ll come as no surprise that I do,” he said.
Here’s where Sorkin got political:
“We’ve been told that as coastal elites, we’re something less than real Americans and that we’re out of touch. If you find it mind-boggling that living and working in the two largest cities in America makes you less than a real American, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you don’t find it remotely credible that three to five million people voted illegally in our last election, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you [don’t] think climate change is a global hoax being perpetrated by unscrupulous Chinese scientists in cahoots with every other scientist in a cunning long con to get grant money, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you [don’t] think the New York Times , the Wall Street Journal , the Washington Post , NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and CNN lie with impunity and that the only trustworthy new source is Fox and Friends , you’re not the one who’s out of touch. And if you don’t think that turning away people who are seeking a safe haven from unspeakable brutality is a morally defensible idea, then you’re not the one who’s less than a real American.” “So what can we do? A lot, actually, because the most powerful delivery system ever invented for an idea is a story. The men and women in this room, and in one just like it in New York, are America’s storytellers. And we come from everywhere. We are old and young, black and white, gay and straight, wealthy and struggling, and yes, liberal and conservative. The most powerful delivery system ever invented for an idea is a story, and we’re America’s storytellers. And my dream of being one of you has come true.”
