Academy Award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin appeared at the 2011 Emmys with a broken nose. Sorkin told the L.A. Times that he broke his nose while writing.

Sorkin said, "I wish I could say I was in a bar fight, but I broke my nose writing."

Sorkin claims he was practicing dialogue in the mirror when he accidentally head-butted himself. The script Sorkin is currently working on is for an upcoming drama about a cable news network for HBO.

The L.A. Times story also has a photograph of Aaron Sorkin and his swollen, broken nose.
