Wicked Nominated for best sound oscar

With the release of the 2025 Academy award nominees, Wicked: Part 1 has been Nominated for the Oscar for “Best Sound”.

This is phenomenal news, & I can’t congratulate Simon Hayes and the team enough for such an incredible achievement.

I was very fortunate in being a very small part of that team in early 2024, & to say how impressed I was with the films production, would be to say the least.
