"I wish people understood just how much work has to go into creating a big, giant behemoth like Wicked," Erivo said. "None of that can happen without his vision. It just isn't possible"

Among the film’s nominations were best picture, Cynthia Erivo for best actress, Ariana Grande for best supporting actress, best costume design and best original score. However, Jon M. Chu was shut out of the directing category.

Wicked' swept the box office and potentially the upcoming Academy Awards with 10 nominations. However, one snub has the cast "crying." Director Jon M. Chu was noticeably missing from the film's group of 10 nominations and Michelle Yeoh stopped by 'The View' to spill on how the cast has reacted.
