Erivo and Grande Earn Consecutive Golden Globe Nods for Wicked

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande received Golden Globe nominations for their performances in the musical fantasy film Wicked For Good, marking a historic milestone as the first actors from the same movie to earn consecutive nods for the same roles. The nominations were announced on December 8 during a live broadcast on CBS, recognizing Erivo in Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and Grande in Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture.

The film, directed by Jon M. Chu and serving as the second installment in the adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, earned five nominations in total. These included Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, as well as Best Original Song for Stephen Schwartz's compositions "No Place Like Home," performed by Erivo, and "The Girl in the Bubble," performed by Grande. However, Wicked For Good did not secure a nomination for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, despite its strong box office performance and earlier recognition from groups like the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute.
