Cynthia Erivo is back in the EGOT running. Should the Wicked star win an Oscar for best actress, Erivo would join Hollywood’s most exclusive club of stars who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Only 19 people have won all four trophies before. Erivo is currently part of another select group — those who are only one away.
British film star Ralph Fiennes has said he is “thrilled” to receive a best actor Oscar nomination for his role in pope drama Conclave. This year’s announcement saw Spanish-language musical Emilia Perez lead the way with 13 nominations while director Edward Berger’s film, about cardinals voting to elect the next pope, secured eight nods.
