The nominations for the 2026 Oscars have been announced, and while we’re thrilled to see many genre films recognized, one notable omission stood out. Surprisingly, Wicked: For Good received no major nominations. This is particularly shocking considering the first Wicked film earned 10 nominations in 2025, including a Best Picture nod, and won two Oscars for Production Design and Costume Design. Unfortunately, the Academy completely overlooked Wicked: For Good this year.
So why didn’t Wicked: For Good get any Oscar nominations? Several factors played a role. The sequel simply wasn’t as strong as the first Wicked movie. While the film made some odd creative decisions – like the focus on the cardigan and a few underwhelming new songs – the source material also contributed. The second half of the Wicked musical isn’t generally considered as captivating as the first. Wicked: For Good did its best, but it wasn’t quite the blockbuster its predecessor was. Plus, it didn’t have the same impact on popular culture, which often influences Oscar decisions.
It’s surprising that Wicked: For Good didn’t receive any nominations for Best Original Score or Best Sound at the Academy Awards, especially since it was nominated in those categories in 2025. It seems Academy voters didn’t enjoy the new music as much as we did.
Even though a movie isn’t nominated for an Oscar, that doesn’t define its quality. Wicked: For Good was a delightful and entertaining film, and it brought joy to audiences – and that’s what really matters. The fact that it wasn’t recognized by the Oscars doesn’t change that, especially considering the wonderful addition of Scarecrow Fyiero, which is a true highlight!
