small sidenote: Jo Anne Worley can definitely sing ;)

Even so it wouldn't be several minutes, more like one minute total across two soundtracks

Yes. There was a "big announcement" commercial yesterday during the football game we were watching. I was a bit confused at the time. Didn't know why it was going to Prime before Peacock but it is for purchase or rental. (I was at a bar and it was loud. Just saw Prime on the screen) I read it is expected to hit Peacock somewhere around March.

It’s not a snub, she had no hope. It sadly wasn’t a good film

Is it a snub if it wasn't really expected? Part one had al the love and all the buzz. Part two was satisfying, but the second act of the show really is weak. It didn't get the same love, nor did it really have much buzz.

People who think anyone would win major awards for their performance in this film need to see other films.

I mean, to be fair, tell that to Oscar winners Rami Malek, Sandra Bullock, Jamie Lee Curtis, etc etc. These awards shows hardly have a history of giving their respective award(s) to the actual deserving/worthy winner(s).

Regardless, a musical sequel with mediocre performances was never going to do well in performance categories.

In my latest piece for Gold Derby, I dig into how "Wicked: For Good" would be the first stage-to-screen musical adaptation to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song in 13 years.

Just an aside...A week ago I was doing a search on Ariana Grande. Gemini AI told me that she is in "Wicked" on Broadway and has been nominated for a 2026 Tony Award (Which alone is impossible at this point in time). It went on to say that she was nominated in the supporting category so she would not be going head to head with Cynthia. I took a pic of it but can't figure out how to post it.
