Cynthia Erivo's nomination for Best Actress at the Oscars for her role in Wicked marks a significant milestone, making her only the second Black woman to receive multiple nominations in this category. Previously nominated for Harriet in 2020, Erivo stands alongside Viola Davis, who has also received two nominations without a win. If victorious, Erivo would become the youngest EGOT recipient. Her celebration on Instagram reflects her gratitude and emotional connection to her performance, emphasizing the importance of representation and the magic of theater.
Moments like this don't come along very often, and when they do, it is sacrilege to let them pass by without a moment of gratitude.
I am grateful, grateful to @theacademy, grateful to be a part of something that makes people feel seen, grateful to be a cog in the wheel of a piece that makes us believe in magic.
