Time for ‘Wicked’ to grab the spotlight?

LA Times  

They killed James Bond in the last 007 movie, so the news that Jeff Bezos is taking over the franchise feels a bit like overkill. SAG Awards coming Sunday Late last year, I went to see “Wicked” again at the Academy Museum just to experience how awards voters responded to the film. The audience was largely members of the Screen Actors Guild Awards’ nominating committee, and, let me tell you, those people did not disappoint, applauding after every musical number and, on occasion, even singing along. I mention this because I think “Wicked” might finally have its awards-season moment Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, taking the group’s prize for film ensemble. As for the individual SAG Awards film honors: Lead actress: Mikey Madison, “Anora”?
