Outstanding Writing For A Limited Series, Movie Or Dramatic Special
William Bridges and Charlie Brooker - U.S.S. Callister (Black Mirror)
CHARLIE BROOKER: What a delightful but horrifying out‑of‑body experience this is.
We need to thank everyone at Netflix for being so supportive. Toby Haynes, our director, did a phenomenal job. Louise Sutton, our producer. Our incredible cast and crew. Annabel Jones, co‑showrunner, without whom none of this occurs. Our families.
WILLIAM BRIDGES: Yeah.
CHARLIE BROOKER: And our wives. I have to thank my wife, Connie, down there.
WILLIAM BRIDGES: And Jules.
CHARLIE BROOKER: And Jules, who went for a wee and came back just in time. And I need to thank my children who ‑‑ I don't know why. They're only four and six years old. It turns out they're not really into "Black Mirror."
WILLIAM BRIDGES: Yeah, mine won't.
CHARLIE BROOKER: Yeah, tiny ingrates. Oh, and I just want to acknowledge a creative debt that this story in particular owes to progressive US titans of sci‑fi, Star Trek and The Twilight Zone. Thank you very much.
