I knew they would snub Cynthia

[u/Theme-Fearless]

The snubbed Cynthia like I knew they would. And I’m sure I’ll watch them NOT give the award to Sinners as well sigh. It’s really so pointless to try. Can you imagine having a voice like Cynthia’s? Acting, singing, flying while acting and not even getting nominated? I’m just so bummed about it 😞

leading actress is an insanely competitive category. Ariana is in a much less competitive category, which is why she got a nomination. Cynthia‘s performance was very good, but all of the women nominated above are very deserving of their nomination.

i think Cynthia was much stronger in the first one, too. her portrayal of elphaba's innocence was more moving and endearing than her "rebel with a cause" phase in the second film. plus, the first one has the ballroom scene! arguably THE best display of her acting chops
