This past weekend, the Wicked movie won Best Costume Design and Production Design at the BAFTA Film Awards. During the ceremony, Tony-winning Costume Designer Paul Tazewell took the stage to accept the award.
During his speech, the designer thanked Jon M. Chu, calling the filmmaker a "visionary director" adding that the experience "was like jumping on the train right behind Elphaba and Glinda, and riding into Emerald City as we charged through with Jon as our conductor." Tazewell is also nominated for an Academy Award for his work on the film. Watch his full acceptance speech here!
Nathan Crowley and Lee Sandales were also on hand to accept the award for Best Production Design. Crowley noted that the experience was "probably the greatest highlight of our careers" and also thanked Chu, calling him a "wonderful director and such a generous person." The duo is nominated for an Academy Award as well. Watch their speech below and find the full list of BAFTA winners here.
