Last night, all eyes were on the Oscars, the biggest night for film. Among those in attendance were cast members from the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, including stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and more.

On the red carpet, the hot topic for these stars was, of course, Wicked, with mentions of the film being made during their interviews prior to the awards ceremony.

"I think that the two of us were really surprised at how well our voices worked together because we have a lot of singing to do together and it worked," Erivo said when asked about working with Grande on the film. "It felt good. It's just a lovely energy on set."

Grande was asked about what it has been like bringing the iconic musical to the screen.

"There's always that incredible pressure because it's so beloved," she said. "I'm a diehard purist fan, so there's so much to balance. It's like, satiating the fans while also bringing new truths to these characters that we've loved for twenty years."

In another clip circulating on social media, Grande is seen reuniting on the red carpet with Michelle Yeoh, who plays Madame Morrible in the Wicked film. The pair share a sweet hug before gushing about one another.

"She's unbelieveable in these movies, you have no idea," Grande said of Yeoh, to which Yeoh replies calling Grande "My princess."

Grande and Erivo also presented together last night, fittingly handing out the awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song. Check out the video here.
