``Parasite'' has continued its march through Hollywood's awards season by winning the best original screenplay honor at Saturday's Writers Guild Awards.

The Nazi satire ``Jojo Rabbit'' took home the best adapted screenplay honor.

The Writers Guild Awards were roughly a week before the Academy Awards, where both films will compete in the best picture category.

The ``Parasite'' win went to Bong Joon Ho, who is also the film's director and Han Jin Won. Taika Waititi won for ``Jojo Rabbit,'' a film he also directed and starred in.

HBO swept the top television awards, winning the drama category for ``Succession,'' the comedy category for ``Barry'' and the best new series honor of ``Watchmen.''

The premium cable network's limited series also won the original long form prize, while FX's ``Fosse/Verdon'' won the adapted long form award.

Saturday's awards were handed out in concurrent ceremonies in New York and Beverly Hills, California. (AP)
