“Emilia Pérez” and “ Wicked ” emerged January 23 as the two Oscar craft juggernauts, scoring seven nominations apiece and setting up a battle of the musicals at the 97th Academy Awards on March 2. This matches the seven craft nominations of last year’s eventual Best Picture winner “Oppenheimer.”

Ariana Grande was nominated for best actress in a supporting role, but Wicked missed out on best adapted screenplay.
