The Hollywood Reporter posts the entire one hour Writer's Roundtable discussion with Aaron Sorkin, Simon Beaufoy, Michael Arndt, John Wells, Todd Phillips and David Lindsay-Abaire sit down for our Awards Watch Roundtable. As Vulture pointed out, the discussion about the WGA is particularly odd since Sorkin and Phillips rip up the WGA right in front of Wells, who is the President of the WGA West.

Todd Phillips's comment on Mike Tyson and Mel Gibson was odd. He mentions addiction and his empathy for people struggling with that but that kind of ignores the whole, you know, racist, anti-semitic, sexist comments he made. I think we've all said things we regret when drunk but Mel took that too an ENTIRELY different level. To just pass it off as addiction seems to gloss over the main issue people have with Mel.

Aaron Sorkin also makes a great point about how, if he had ever portrayed a Republican like Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle, he would have been destroyed by the right wing for making them seem like caricatures. On the other hand, it's very interesting that the writer of such a liberal show takes such a conservative stance on the union.

All in all, it's a great discussion to listen to.

And no, I don't know who the random guy sitting in the foreground next to Aaron Sorkin is.
