Cynthia Erivo Sets Golden Globes Mark as Wicked: For Good Lands Five Nominations

The best picture omission refocuses the campaign toward acting recognition, original songs, box-office achievement.

Overview

  • Erivo became the first Black woman to earn two lead actress nominations in the Globes’ musical/comedy category for reprising Elphaba.
  • Ariana Grande received a supporting actress nomination, giving both stars consecutive-year Globe nods for the same roles.
  • Wicked: For Good collected five total nominations, including Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
  • Two new tracks—No Place Like Home and The Girl in the Bubble—secured Best Original Song nominations.
  • The film was left out of Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Jon M. Chu missed a directing nod, as Erivo celebrated the news and Broadway alum Lindsay Mendez praised the performances ahead of the Jan. 11 ceremony.
