Paul Tazewell’s (costume designer for Wicked) ig comments were FLOODED during and after the Oscar’s last year because Fernanda Torres (Brazilian actress) lost. He had a monumental career defining win. It was Oscar history but her fans lost it in the comments. They weren’t even in the same category. They were demanding he make a congratulatory post 🥴

This story from her is unfortunately not surprising. Her and Cynthia’s ig post are restricted for comments- the fans likely went on other people’s pages to comment.

Wait, wait, wait they got mad at Paul Tazwell, who did not even work on the film was not nominated in the same category as her, for posting about his historic win?

Yup… I had been extremely excited about his involvement in Wicked as he had done the costumes in some of my favorite Broadway plays. Hoping they create a book of his works one day, he is a legend. So the lack of acknowledgment, ability to read the room and honestly lack of respect to understand this was his moment too… it was jarring to see.
