Moments ago, the 2020 Writers Guild Awards began their show. Interestingly, the ceremony kicked off by announcing both of the big Film prizes, Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay. The former was seen as a race between Noah Baumbach for Marriage Story and Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won for Parasite, with the winner the main competitor to Quentin Tarantino and Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood at Oscar. The latter? A close race with four of the five Academy Award nominees competing has turned into a battle between Greta Gerwig’s Little Women script and Taika Waiti’s script for Jojo Rabbit. How did it turn out? Read on for the winners… Original Screenplay went to Parasite, while Adapted Screenplay went to Jojo Rabbit. Parasite may well have some major momentum in Original going into Oscar night, while the Adapted race is officially too close to call. The Academy Awards are adding some last minute excitement in the final days, and that’s never a bad thing.
