Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande win Grammy for “Defying Gravity” performance

Oscars and BAFTA snubs all but forgotten – Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have won Grammys!

The duo picked up the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their rendition of the rousing number that closes out the first Wicked movie.

They beat out Huntrix with “Golden”, Katseye with “Gabriela”, Rosé and Bruno Mars with “APT” and SZA featuring Kendrick Lamar – “30 for 30.”

The two parts of Jon M Chu’s big-screen adaptation have now been released on digital platforms.

Based on the hit novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely university friends in the land of Oz, one destined to become Glinda the Good and the other, the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked writers Winnie Holzman (book) and Stephen Schwartz (score) collaborated on the screenplay with Dana Fox.

It stars Erivo as Elphaba and Grande as Glinda, with Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, alongside Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Tony nominee Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, and Peter Dinklage as Dr Dillamond.
