WGA Awards 2020: Parasite e Jojo Rabbit tra i vincitori

La Writers Guild of America ha annunciato questa notte i vincitori degli ambiti WGA Awards 2020, i premi assegnati alle migliori sceneggiature dell’anno. A sorpresa vincono Parasite e Jojo Rabbit.

A dispetto delle previsioni, che volevano 1917 e Piccole Donne prevalere nelle rispettive categorie, a dominare i WGA Awards sono stati il sorprendente Parasite (nella categoria Miglior Sceneggiatura Originale) e Jojo Rabbit (nella categoria Miglior Sceneggiatura non Originale).

La corsa agli Oscar 2020, relativamente alle categorie sceneggiative, si fa ora più agguerrita, con più film capaci di portarsi a casa l’ambita statuetta.
