Golden Globes 2026 snubs *Wicked: For Good* in top musical category

The musical fantasy, a follow-up to the original Wicked, secured a nomination in the 'Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' category. However, it was notably absent from the 'Best Picture - Musical or Comedy' shortlist, surprising many given its commercial performance and the original’s past win in the same area.

Despite its snub in the top musical category, Wicked: For Good remains a standout in this year’s awards season. The nominations for Grande, Erivo, and the film’s music confirm its impact on audiences and critics alike. The results will be announced during the ceremony in January 2026.
