The
stars
are
aligning
at
the
2025
Critics
Choice
Awards.
Indeed,
Wicked
star
Ethan
Slater and
Jeff
Goldblum, Emilia
Peréz‘s
Zoe
Saldaña,
Shogun
actor Takehiro
Hira
and
English
Teacher‘s
Brian
Jordan
Alvarez were
among
the
first
celebs
to
arrive
at
the
Feb.
7
award
show—hosted
by
Chelsea
Handler—at
the
Barker
Hangar
in
Santa
Monica,
Calif.
And
we
must
say,
the
men
are
nailing
it
when
it
comes
to
the
fashion.
The
ceremony,
which
was
postponed
last
month
amid
the
devastating
Southern
California
wildfires,
is
bringing
together
stars
from
both
television
and
film
to
honor
their
work
over
the
last
year.
Leading
the
2025
Critics
Choice
Awards
nominations
are
films
Conclave
and
Wicked,
with
11
nods
each,
including
Best
Actor
for
Conclave‘s
Ralph
Fiennes
and
Best
Actress
for
Wicked‘s
Cynthia
Erivo.
Erivo’s
Wicked
costar
Ariana
Grande
also
received
a
nod
in
the
Best
Supporting
Actress
category,
further
proving
their
portrayals
of
Elphaba
and
Glinda
resonated
with
audiences,
as
well
as
their
fellow
actors.
“They
have
such
a
strong
bond
that
I
admire
so
much
in
the
movie,”
Marissa
Bode,
who
portrays
Elphaba’s
younger
sister
Nessarose
in
Wicked,
told
E!
News
in
November.
“These
young
girls
are
just
figuring
themselves
out
and
translating
into
who
they
are
as
people—having
a
strong
and
loving
bond
to
one
another.”
