“Wicked” picked up a whopping 10 Oscar nominations on Thursday morning, but a Best Director nod for Jon M. Chu was not among them. And according to Michelle Yeoh, she and the “Wicked” crew are “crying” because of it.
In total, “Wicked” tied for second place on Oscar nomination morning with “The Brutalist,” each picking up 10 nominations and nods for best picture. “Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were also nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Lead Actress, respectively.
Stopping by “The View” on Thursday morning, Yeoh — who stars as Madame Morrible in “Wicked” — celebrated the flurry of nominations, but lamented the snub of Chu.
