Can ‘Wicked‘ Score a Double Oscar Win with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo?
A strategic awards campaign could see both stars take home Academy Awards gold.
Teh highly anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway smash hit “Wicked” is already generating Oscar buzz, but with a twist. Rather of pitting its two leading ladies against each other, the film’s team is reportedly employing a clever strategy to maximize their chances of Academy Award glory.
Fandango Correspondent Nikki Novak revealed the plan: “What ‘Wicked’ has decided to do is they are going to submit Ariana Grande in supporting and Cynthia Erivo in lead.”
This move aims to avoid direct competition between Grande, who plays Glinda the Good Witch, and Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Insiders suggest Grande is the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress,with her performance drawing comparisons to “the leading ladies of Hollywood’s golden age musical era.”
The strategy is a bold one, but it could pay off handsomely. By positioning Grande and Erivo in separate categories, “Wicked” increases its chances of securing multiple Oscar nominations and potentially even wins.
