Dopo poche ore dall’assegnazione degli ambiti Golden Globes 2020 (qui i premi), si torna a fare sul serio in merito alla corsa all’Oscar 2020: la nuova tappa sono i Writers Guild Awards.

La potente associazione degli sceneggiatori hollywoodiani (Writers Guild of America – WGA) ha scelto i nomi dei film giunti in nomination per l’edizione 2020. Divisi come sempre in due categorie, tali premi sono un vero e proprio indicatore in vista dell’assegnazione delle nomination dell’Academy, più di ogni altro premio.

Anche in questa nuova edizione, le sceneggiature scelte dall’associazione sono quelle più forti in assoluto: spiccano – a tal proposito – quelle relative a Joker, 1917, Storia di un Matrimonio, The Irishman e Piccole Donne. Non sono mancate le solite sorprese, con Parasite, Knives Out, Booksmart – La Rivincita delle Sfigate e Jojo Rabbit protagonisti assoluti.

I Writers Guild Awards verranno assegnati il 1° febbaio 2020.
