Wicked: For Good fans “livid” as it’s completely blanked at the Oscars with ZERO nominations

by

The Oscar nominations are out, and fans of the movie Wicked: For Good were surprised that the musical adaptation, directed by John M. Chu, didn’t receive any nominations.

The awards season is now underway, building up to the highly anticipated Oscars. Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 15th.

Ryan Coogler’s horror film, Sinners, achieved a record-breaking 16 nominations, surpassing the previous high of 14 shared by All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land. Meanwhile, Wicked: For Good didn’t manage to overcome the typical challenges faced by movie sequels.

Despite winning Oscars for Costume Design and Production Design, the song ‘For Good’ from the 2024 film Wicked: Part I was not nominated for any Academy Awards, a decision that many fans have called unfair.

Fans are expressing strong disappointment that the movie Wicked received no Oscar nominations. One fan on Threads called the shutout “ridiculous,” while another said they were “livid” about the lack of recognition.

Someone expressed disbelief that both ‘Dream as One’ and the song from Wicked weren’t nominated, adding that Miley Cyrus’s track for Avatar: Fire and Ash also missed out on a Best Original Song nomination.

“Wicked For Good getting zero Oscar nominations feels off. Not even best song??” a person noted.

I wasn’t a big fan of Wicked: For Good either, but it’s shocking that it didn’t receive any nominations, especially for its original songs, someone commented.

I’m wondering if the field was too crowded, or if this feels like a repeat of last year. But I’m really thrilled for Sinners – it absolutely deserves all the nominations it received.

The film Wicked: For Good, featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda, isn’t the only movie that failed to receive any Oscar nominations this year.

Noah Baumbach’s film, Jay Kelly, wasn’t nominated for any awards, and the strong performances by George Clooney and Adam Sandler weren’t recognized by the Academy.

Despite a Golden Globe nomination, Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for her powerful performance as a woman dealing with postpartum depression in the film Die My Love. She previously won an Oscar in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook.

Amanda Seyfried was also overlooked for an Oscar nomination, despite receiving nominations for the same role at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards this year. The role was in the film The Testament of Ann Lee.

I was so thrilled to see Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another get recognized with 13 nominations! It’s amazing. But honestly, I was really hoping Chase Infiniti would get a Best Actress nod for her performance as Willa. I thought she absolutely deserved it!

Julia Roberts was also notably absent from the nominations for Lead Actress, announced by Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks. Despite receiving a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the drama After the Hunt, the film itself didn’t receive any Oscar nominations.

Dwayne Johnson and Paul Mescal weren’t nominated for Best Actor despite strong performances as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine and William Shakespeare in Hamnet.

The movie about MMA fighter Kerr received an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Meanwhile, Chloé Zhao’s film Hamnet earned a total of 8 nominations, including top categories like Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress, with Jessie Buckley as the frontrunner.

Wicked: For Good is available to rent or buy from digital outlets such as Prime Video and AppleTV.
