Cynthia was nominated for Actress in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture for her performance as Elphaba, while Ariana was up for Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Glinda.
Yes! Wicked won the Golden Globe Award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. This award is given to the year’s “most acclaimed, highest-earning and/or most viewed films that have garnered extensive global audience support and attained cinematic excellence,” according to Dick Clark Productions, the Golden Globes organizer.
Nominees in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category must have grossed at least $150 million at the box office, with at least $100 million earned in the United States. If this isn’t the case, then the nominee must “commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources.”
During the 2024 Golden Globes, Barbie was awarded the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement accolade.
Neither Ariana nor Cynthia won a Golden Globe in their respective categories. Demi Moore took home the award for female actor in a musical or comedy film for her performance in The Substance. In the best supporting actress category, Zoe Saldaña took home the award for her performance in Emilia Perez.
