Wicked star Jonathan Bailey last week celebrated the film’s impressive ten Oscar nominations at an intimate dinner hosted by luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega. 

With the 2025 nominations having been announced just hours earlier, Jonathan was on sparkling form as he mingled with guests at fashionable private members’ club The Twenty Two London in his role as official friend of the brand.

Proudly sporting his Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades 38mm gold timepiece, he told fellow diners that Omega ‘always gets the best people and invites them to the best dinners.’

Best known for his star turn in the hugely successful Netflix series Bridgerton, Jonathan, 36, is on a cinematic roll, having wowed global audiences as the dashing male lead, Fiyero, opposite Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the big-screen musical.

Wicked scored nods for best picture, best actress, best supporting actress and best original score, among others, giving it the second highest tally of nominations after record-breaking Emilia Pérez with an astonishing 13, and level pegging with The Brutalist.

Jonathan’s performance in the fantasy film, loosely based on the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz, has already earned him a nomination for a SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The star revealed he hoped to attend the Academy Awards ceremony at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on 3 March to cheer on the film and his two leading ladies Cynthia and Ariana. But it will have to be a flying visit as he is set to perform the titular role of Richard II in director Nicholas Hytner’s production of Shakespeare’s play at London’s Bridge Theatre from 10 February for three months.

It’s already shaping up as another busy year for the Brighton-based actor. He will reprise his part as Fiyero in the sequel, Wicked: For Good, which is scheduled for release in November. He also stars in one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the year, Jurassic World Rebirth, opposite Scarlett Johansson, due out in July. 

Despite his hectic schedule, the good-natured star looked relaxed and happy as he joined Omega in toasting its iconic Seamaster collection, including the latest launches in the Diver 300M range. 

Guests dined on sea bass crudo followed by fillet of grass-fed beef and a chocolate cremeux dessert with milk ice cream in the hotel’s private red basement salon, paired with Ruinart Champagne and a selection of fine wines.
