Among the film’s nominations were best picture, Cynthia Erivo for best actress, Ariana Grande for best supporting actress, best costume design and best original score. However, Jon M. Chu was shut out of the directing category.

"I wish people understood just how much work has to go into creating a big, giant behemoth like Wicked,” Erivo said. “None of that can happen without his vision. It just isn’t possible"

Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the beloved stage musical is walking the yellow brick road all the way to the 2025 Oscars, scoring 10 nominations including best picture, lead actress and supporting actress.

Ariana Grande was nominated for best actress in a supporting role, but Wicked missed out on best adapted screenplay.

Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez” leads the nominations with 13, including best picture and a best actress nod for Karla Sofía Gascón, the first openly trans actor ever nominated. See the full list.
