The poor bloke couldn't help what he was saying. His whole life he has "blurted" cunt, bitch, whore, n\*\*\*\*. It might be hilarious to some, disturbing to others, but the poor bloke has no control over it. So, awards ceremony, of which John's film was a major contender in the awards category and, surprise surprise John does what John does - and has done for the last 40 odd years. It would only be surprising if John's film - or film about him - wasn't up for a major award. And then, people act shocked? Poor bloke left early and was destroyed, when one of the major films about him and his condition was supposed to be highlighted?
