Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will be traveling from London to the U.S. when Oscar nominations are announced.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, two main leads of the hit musical fiction, may be bringing Wicked to life on the big screen but surprisingly, they both never auditioned together for the movie.

Ryan Reynolds is calling it like it is, and in a particularly riveting speech about the importance of the creative story behind Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's 'Wicked,' he took time to tackle the standards society has set for women.

After winning Best Drama at the Golden Globes, it can be certain that “The Brutalist” will be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and will probably be the top contender for the prize. “The Brutalist” stars Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes, and Felicity Jones.
