During her journey to the Sundance Film Festival, Cynthia Erivo learned she was nominated for Best Actress for her portrayal of Elphaba in Wicked. Moved by the news, she shed tears on the plane as she prepared to receive the festival’s Visionary Award.
The musical film “Wicked,” directed by Jon M. Chu, has garnered a grand total of 10 Oscar nominations, one of which is Ariana Grande’s inaugural Oscar recognition for her performance as Glinda. Initially portraying rivals in the movie, Eviro and Grande eventually develop a profound and transformative friendship as their characters progress.
Enviro finds this incredible acknowledgement truly astounding. In her post’s description, she penned, “People frequently ask me what I would tell my younger self. Today, there are no words. She is grinning, radiant, glowing from ear to ear. Her smile says it all.
Erivo’s Oscar nomination moves her a step closer to achieving an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards); in other words, this recognition marks another significant achievement in her already remarkable career.
As I shared my thoughts with Deadline about the possibility of achieving an EGOT with an Oscar win, I found myself at a loss for words. The whole scenario feels like a dream, a wild and wondrous one. But truthfully, I can’t find the right words to express just how grateful I am for this incredible journey. I’m simply overjoyed, ecstatic even. It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything. Truly, it’s cool beyond belief!
According to reports, Wicked has earned an impressive USD 709.9 million, making it the most profitable movie musical so far. Actress Cynthia Erivo will reprise her role in the upcoming sequel, titled Wicked: For Good, scheduled for release in November 2025.
