With all eyes on Wicked this award season, buzz is circulating about what's in store for the film at the 2025 Oscars. Wicked recently received 11 Critics Choice Award nominations as well as 4 Golden Globe nominations, which begs the question: what's in store for the Academy Awards?

The nominations will be announced in just one month for film's biggest night, but Wicked fans are already wondering if the cast will perform at the ceremony. Ariana Grande chatted with The Hollywood Reporter at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominee Celebration on Tuesday, sharing that she would be open to performing with co-star Cynthia Erivo at the Oscars.

“Of course, we love singing with each other,” Grande said. “I’ll sing together absolutely anywhere anytime, especially in celebration of Wicked, and I love her, that’s my sister. Say the word and we’ll be there.”
