[@shadysorkin9214]

@@lynnify6 The direction was the weakest aspect of the movie what are you on about. If you think that deserved a nomination you watched no other films this year. If it was not for the cast and sets the movie would have been a complete mess.

This category is actually quite important. One of the most important aspects of cinema is to attract people to come to the theater and watch films on the big screen. This art form should always be preserved

[@vamanosninja4143]

This is the second year for the category right.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I actually enjoyed Wicked a bit more than Barbie

[@randb4865]

Therefore; giant fail.

[@thecedex]

I hate this category. A movie is considered among the best regardless of its box-office. Plus I can't see how movies like Deadpool and Wolverine as a preservation of the art form.

Congratulations "Wicked" and everyone involved in it!!!!! My love for this musical will always defy gravity. 💚💓 P.S. I adore Cynthia's sparkly dress and Jeff's sparkly suite here.

I'm actually happy this award went to Wicked and not to what I thought would have been the movie that just made the most money at the box office this year, which would have been Inside Out 2. Wicked truly was a cinematic masterpiece that brought people together laughing and crying.

[@MrJusttalking2u]

Definitely. I’m a 63-year-old and had the most fun my 3rd time watching, listening to the high-school drama kids around me at the sing-along. I recorded them and shared it with a group of them afterward.

[@savannahjourdan9916]

[@michaeldonovan3959]

Never saw the play and have not yet seen the film, but the idea of "radical optimism" is a mission statement.

[@skyt3265]

It’s worth seeing. I love musicals but wasn’t overly familiar with Wicked. It was so visually stunning and fun. The music was beautiful, too. The storyline to me is a bit confusing but I’m figuring it out as I watch it over and learn more :) There is a lot of lore from the book, all its years on broadway, to now the movie.

Well, deserved!!!! So proud of WICKED for over 21 years!! This movie truly defied all our expectations in bringing an iconic story we all know to the next level. Lucky to have seen the stage production 5 times LIVE on Broadway and still auditioning and persisting to be part of the show BOTH on Broadway and the National Tour, there's nothing like that feeling of stepping into the world of this moving story of being who you are and standing for what is right no matter what others say. This movie brought a whole new direction to this beloved show introducing its message, legacy, and story for the next generation. WICKED rules!!!!! Sorry Taylor Swift!!!

i saw the original play with Idina and kristin, and to think it would have become where it has today is mindblowing. at the age of 10 and seeing the play, i truly felt i had witnessed something magical but i truly had no idea others felt so strongly like i did and its just beautiful to see the two very talented artists having had the chance to fill the shoes of alfeba and glinda (huge ari fan as well before this) it is such a well done movie all around and depiction of the original play. nothing bad to say

Wicked deserved a lot more awards than that. Jon Chu did an amazing job directing the movie and keeping it true to the story. It feels like these awards shows cater to the more independent films to bring them attention. While the ones that bring in the box office cash have to have a new category made so they can win something. Also, great job Nikki Glaser on hosting and Melissa McCarthy was funny IMO on her segment presenting. 💚💗🖤💗💚
