Wicked: For Good fans are angry about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Oscar snubs<\/p>\n
The 2026 Oscars nominations list includes films like Marty Supreme<\/a>, One Battle After Another, and Sinners<\/a>, in different categories. Unfortunately, Wicked: For Good did not secure a nomination in any category for this year\u2019s Oscars, let alone all categories.<\/p>\n Upon realizing that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo weren\u2019t nominated for their performances as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, in Wicked 2, fans expressed their frustration online. Notably, one fan understood why Grande and Erivo didn\u2019t get nominated for their performances. They acknowledged that the acting categories were \u201cstacked\u201d this year to consider including their performances. Nonetheless, they stressed that the film should have received at least a nomination.<\/p>\n The lack of acknowledgment for Cynthia Erivo\u2019s role as Elphaba really bothers me. Like it\u2019s actually completely disrespectful.<\/p>\n \u2014 nia (@niaaiw) January 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n They definitely should\u2019ve got some kind of nomination. Acting categories are too stacked this year but there was something for them ?<\/p>\n \u2014 edward (@onbrandviews) January 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Ariana and Cynthia carried that film, this makes no sense ?<\/p>\n \u2014 Soni Kumari (@MaayaSahu) January 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n This is so crazy to me. This movie was INSANELY GOOD<\/p>\n \u2014 Lord Karma? (@allforkarmaa) January 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, one fan<\/a> chose to look at the bright side. They said the film was \u201cexcellent and enjoyable,\u201d even if it didn\u2019t get nominated. They added, \u201cThat\u2019s the real win, these awards mean nothing anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n The disappointment at Grande and Erivo getting snubbed reached such a degree that even Grande\u2019s peer in the music industry, Charlie Puth, addressed it. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote<\/a>, \u201cAriana and Cynthia not getting nominated for Wicked is such a disappointment.\u201d He continued, \u201cI don\u2019t watch a lot of movies, but I believe the amazing musicality they both showcased should be acknowledged.\u201d<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good getting snubbed at this year\u2019s Oscars is rather astonishing. This is considering how the first film earned 10 nominations and secured two wins \u2014 Best Costume Design and Best Production Design \u2014 at the 2025 Oscars. Notably, the nominations included Best Actress in a Leading Role for Cynthia Erivo and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Ariana Grande. Erivo lost to Anora\u2019s Mikey Madison, while Grande lost to Emilia P\u00e9rez\u2019s Zoe Salda\u00f1a. <\/p>\n
