The film is one of 10 competing for the coveted Best Picture prize, while stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are both in the running for acting awards in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, respectively.

Based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name, which is itself based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, the film stars Grande and Erivo as Glinda (The Good Witch of the South) and Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West), chronicling the days they spent together at Shiz University to Elphaba's eventual downfall.
