I guess the question right now is whether or not Wicked: For Good will receive a Best Picture nomination. Tradition would seem to dictate that, like The Lord of the Rings films and the Dune films, Wicked: For Good would get a nomination to go along with the first part of the story. However, the reviews of Wicked: For Good have not been particularly good.
That said, those reviews have not had much effect when it comes to the film’s box office. And that’s why I think, despite bad reviews, Wicked: For Good will be nominated. I don’t think it’s going be quite the Oscar powerhouse that some were expecting but it will still, at the very least, be nominated. It’s too big to fail at this point.
Here are my review for November. Click here for my April and May and June and July and August and September and October predictions!
