Grande started with \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow,\u201d before Erivo took over to perform \u201c\u201cHome\u201d from\u00a0The Wiz<\/em>. Until they came back together to sing the Wicked<\/em>\u2018s part one closer, \u201cDefying Gravity.\u201d While Ariana watched in amazement, seeing Erivo soar, nailing those final notes, as did the audience. The performance earned a standing ovation. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe film was up for 10 nominations, and won two, with Ervio and Grande also up for noms in their respective categories. Legendary costume designer, Paul Tazewell picked up its first award. Tazewell made history for being the first Black man to win for best costume design. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m so proud of this,\u201d he said in his speech. \u201cThank you everyone in the U.K. for all your beautiful work. And to my Oz-ian muses, Cynthia and Ariana, I love you so much. All the other cast, thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me with bringing your characters to life. This is everything.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNathan Crowley and Lee Sandales\u00a0took home the other win for best production design. Check out the\u00a0complete list of winners and see the star-studded\u00a0Oscars red carpet 2025 arrivals here. <\/p>\n

\n\tOther memorable moments in the show included when the Wicked <\/em>castmember Bowen Yang presented the best costume design category in his full Shiz University uniform. Also, the show\u2019s host Conan O\u2019Brien poked fun at the musical, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect movie for anyone who\u2019s ever finished watching The Wizard of Oz<\/em> and thought, sure, but where did all the minor characters go to college? That\u2019s the story!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore the show began, Erivo teased the film\u2019s sequel Wicked: For Good <\/em>to Jesse Palmer on the red carpet. \u201cThese girls have to deal with the consequences of their decisions and it\u2019s both joyful and heartbreaking and all the things you could possibly imagine,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd there are some songs in there that you might recognize and love too, and I think it will be really special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWicked: For Good <\/em>will premiere in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
