Fellow Ozians! After rumours and speculation, innuendo and outuendo, Wicked director Jon M. Chu has finally shared his thoughts on ‘Gelphie'. Cynthia Erivo earned the best actress nomination for her role as Elphaba and Ariana Grande received the nod for best supporting actress. The film is also up for best picture, film editing, production design, costume design, original score, makeup and hairstyling, sound and visual effects.

What does that really mean? Before the nominations were announced, he did give Erivo and Grande a pep talk.

We did our movie. Despite the numerous nominations, especially for best picture, Chu was left out of the director category. He addressed the snub head-on and with no hard feelings. Making a movie is a miracle.
