Flying high! Wicked earns four Golden Globe nominations
Posted on
Phantasmagorical news! The first *Wicked* film has made like a twister and swept the board at the Golden Globes, picking up four nominations including Best Picture and Best Performance by a Female Actor.
Part one of the much-talked about musical broke box office records (and the internet) when it opened two weeks ago. The film, directed by **Jon M Chu** and starring **Cynthia Erivo** (Elphaba) and **Ariana Grande** (Glinda), tells the true story of the witches of Oz. And explains how one became good and the other, wicked.
Based on the hit novel *Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West* by **Gregory Maguire**, and adapted from the 2003 Broadway blockbuster. ***[Wicked](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/wicked-tickets)*** writers **Winnie Holzman** (book) and **Stephen Schwartz** (score) collaborated with **Dana Fox** to create the spellbinding screenplay.
Erivo is up against **Amy Adams**, **Karla Sofía Gascón**, **Mikey Madison**, **Demi Moore**, and **Zendaya** in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy category. Whereas Grande faces fellow Disney star, **Selena Gomez** in addition to **Felicity Jones**, **Margaret Qualley**, **Isabella Rossellini** and **Zoe Saldaña** in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture category.
The film itself was nominated for Best Picture (musical or comedy) AND Box Office Achievement.
Wicked was released in cinemas on 22 November and continues to play to packed audiences. After one hell of an interval, part two will fly into cinemas on 21 November 2025. Can’t wait that long?
