"Also going unrecognised by the Academy are the two new original songs in Wicked: For Good, "The Girl in the Bubble" and "No Place Like Home".

""Wicked not even getting a costume design, makeup and hairstyling, or original song nomination is kinda insane," added another. Someone else echoed this saying: "Wicked: For Good not getting a nomination for Costume Design, Production Design or Hair & Makeup will never not sit right with me." Someone else wrote: "That's it I'm skipping the Oscars this year," while someone else typed: "WTF this is insane!""
Wicked: For Good received zero nominations at the 2026 Academy Awards. The nominations were announced on 22 January. The Academy did not nominate Cynthia Erivo or Ariana Grande for their roles as Elphaba and Glinda. The film's two new original songs, "The Girl in the Bubble" and "No Place Like Home", were also left unrecognized. Fans reacted strongly on X/Twitter, criticizing the lack of nominations in categories such as costume design, production design, makeup and hairstyling, visual effects, and original song. Sinners led with 16 nominations, and other contenders include One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and Frankenstein.
