Wicked fans have been left stunned after For Good was majorly snubbed at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

The nominees for the 83rd Golden Globes have been announced, with One Battle After Another leading the charge with a whopping nine nominations.

Wicked: For Good received five nominations, including Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for lead star Cynthia Erivo, and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Ariana Grande.

The musical epic was also nominated for Best Original Song – Motion Picture for two songs, 'No Place Like Home' and 'The Girl in the Bubble', and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

However, the film missed out on a nomination for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy in what many dubbed the biggest shock of the prestigious awards ceremony.
