A Wicked Snub

"I wish people understood just how much work has to go into creating a big, giant behemoth like Wicked,” Erivo said. “None of that can happen without his vision. It just isn’t possible"

Cynthia Erivo thinks Wicked‘s Jon M. Chu deserved a Best Director nomination at the Oscars. In an interview with Variety Friday, the actress, who earned a nod for Best Actress for her role as Elphaba in the film, said she was puzzled that Chu didn’t earn a nod for the film.

“I wish people understood just how much work has to go into creating a big, giant behemoth like Wicked,” Erivo said. “None of that can happen without his vision. It just isn’t possible.”

“He is the who can see who is right for this, who cast us in these roles, who asked for nine million tulips, who says he wants to build a real set so it feels embedded in reality,” she added. “There is a kind of vision that you have to have in order to be in control of something that could run away from you very quickly if you don’t know what to do.”

Wicked earned 10 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards, including for Best Picture and Best Original Score, Best Sound, and Best Production Design. Along with Erivo’s Best Actress nod, Ariana Grande is up for Best Supporting Actress.

In her interview, Erivo, said “we have another film coming and he made two films at the same time,” referring to Wicked sequel Wicked: For Good.

“I think he is an exquisite director,” she said. “The people that he put in charge of every department, that also takes skill.”

Grande previously spoke to Variety about Chu’s snub, calling him “incredibly brilliant.”

“All of the other nominations stem from Jon. I know he feels like seeing Wicked be celebrated is a celebration of him as well,” she told the outlet. “We just got off Facetime, and I told him how much I love him, and the truth, which is that absolutely none of this could have happened without his leadership, brilliance, empathy and thoughtfulness.”

“The Tale Of Lady Ok” Stars Say Goodbye + Thank Viewers Ahead Of Tonight’s Finale

The stars of JTBC’s “The Tale of Lady Ok” have shared their final thoughts ahead of tonight’s series finale! “The Tale of Lady Ok” tells the story of the intense survival con game of runaway slave Goo Deok (Lim Ji Yeon), who assumes a false identity, and Cheon Seung Hwi (Choo Young Woo), who risks everything to protect her. With just one episode left to go, the drama’s leads took a nostalgic look back at filming and spoke fondly about what the series meant to them. Lim Ji Yeon shared, “Even as I was playing Ok Tae Young, I found myself rooting for her. Because she’s a character for whom I felt deep affection, I think [playing her] was all the more special.” She also expressed her gratitude to the show’s viewers, noting, “More people became invested in Ok Tae Young’s life than I’d expected, which surprised me. Many people gave me warm reviews that became a source of strength for me, so I was happy each and every day while the drama was airing.” “I’m grateful that I was able to start 2025 while receiving love from so many people,” she continued, “and I think I’ve gained the motivation that will be my driving force as I live out this new year. I wish all of you lots of good fortune in the new year.” Choo Young Woo commented, “While preparing for this drama, I went through many experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thanks to the admirable character of Seung Hwi, I think I was able to receive lots of interest.” He went on, “I would like to once again thank the director for trusting me with this role, and because everyone [who worked on the drama] spent so much time pondering it and poured so much love into it, I’m truly happy that the drama ended up receiving lots of love from many people. I hope the drama will remain in viewers’ hearts as a warm memory.” Kim Jae Won humbly remarked, “Each and every moment that I lived as Do Gyeom was a precious time that allowed me to grow as an actor.” “I hope that the new year is full of only health and happiness for you all,” he continued, “and no matter what ups and downs come your way, I hope you will overcome them wisely, just like Ok Tae Young, Cheon Seung Hwi, Sung Do Gyeom, and Cha Mi Ryeong of the Sung family.” Finally, Yeonwoo said, “Because ‘The Tale of Lady Ok’ was my first historical drama, I was very nervous and anxious, but thanks to all of my co-stars, I learned a lot and had a really great experience, so I think I’ll remember it for a long time.” She concluded, “It was truly an honor to be part of such a great drama, and I’m truly grateful to all of the viewers who gave us love.” The final episode of “The Tale of Lady Ok” will air on January 26 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
