In total, Wicked — in which both Ariana and Ethan star — was nominated for 11 Critics Choice Awards. By the end of the night, the blockbuster had scooped up three awards: Best Director, Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.

Jeff Goldblum is proud of his “Wicked” co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande following their Oscar nominations. “Unbelievable to know and to have seen them work, Ariana and Cynthia,” he emotionally told Access Hollywood guest correspondent Emily Orozco at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.
