"Wicked: For Good managed to secure two nominations at the BAFTAs - one for Costume Design and another for Make-up and Hair. There was an outcry last week when the Oscar nominations were announced and the sequel to 2024's failed to pick up a single nod. Though, we're still sad that neither Cynthia Erivo nor Ariana Grande, who were up for the Leading Actress and Supporting Actress categories last year were recognised for their work in the sequel."
"The film, which follows the love story between the dom biker, Ray ( Skarsgård) and his sub, Colin (Melling) has been recognised in the Outstanding British Film, Outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer, and Adapted Screenplay categories. If won, the last two would go to the out-gay director, Harry Lighton, who made his feature debut with the film based on the novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones."
Nominations for the 2026 BAFTAs were announced on 27 January, with the ceremony scheduled for 22 February at London's Royal Festival Hall. Sinners received 13 nominations and One Battle After Another led with 14. Wicked: For Good earned two nominations, for Costume Design and Make-up and Hair, despite the sequel's failure to receive Oscar nods and the absence of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande from BAFTA acting recognition. Experts note a historic lack of recognition for sequels and criticism of the source musical's second act. Pillion, a gay BDSM rom-com starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, received several British and screenplay category nominations. Warfare was recognised for Sound, and Ethan Hawke received a Leading Actor nod.
