"The Wicked", a hit movie based on Broadway's music of the same name (which is just a loose adaptation of the 1995 book "The Wicked": The Life and the Time of the Wicked Witch in the West "by Gregory Maguier, which is itself A. A. The books of "Oz" by L. The film in 1939 "Wizard of Oz") has received a lot of LOVEUS from audiences and critics. While ours Own review He thought it was a little messy, most of the critics appreciated the lights, a bold adaptation of Broadway, boasting performances by Ariana Grande Stars and especially Cynthia Erivo. They both act and sing their hearts like Glinda ("Good Witch") and Elfaba ("The Western Witch in the West"), respectively, forced some fans to be completely shocked when they checked Announcements for Oscar nomination And I saw that the "wicked" were not nominated either for the best original song or the best original result.

"Wicked" has made four nominations, for Best Erivo Actress, Best Grande Actress, the best film editing and the coveted award for Best Picture, so it's not like the academy voters to ignore the film as a whole. It turns out that there is a good reason that the "wicked" have not received any musical nominations, which is because the song and the result are not very original for the film.

"Wicked" is not the first major blockbuster film based on Broadway musical, but many others have added new music to qualify for awards. "Chicago" added "I go on" and Les Miserables added "Suddenly", For example, it made them qualified for the best original song according to the Academy rules. The Official rules Indicate that to be qualified for the best original song, verses and music need to be completely original:

"It consists of words and music, both are original and written specifically for the image of movement. There must be clearly sound, understandable, essential translation (not must be visually represented) both lyrical and melody used in the body of the image movement or as the first music sign in the end of credits. "

Because "Wicked" used the songs and music of music, with some minor changes, mostly guided by the original composer of music, Steven Schwartz. (It was Schwartz that helped solve the story of two films and Complete the first half with "defying gravity", Which is pretty neat.) Since there is no music in "Wicked" that is not in Broadway music, with the exception of expanding a few songs, it simply does not qualify for the best original song or the best original categories of results. The fans will still have a lot to take root when the Oscars come to the night, though, with the chance to win some of the most important awards of the night.
