Best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo channeled Elphaba from "Wicked" in a stunning, deep emerald gown on the Oscars red carpet.

If Erivo takes home the best actress Oscar on Sunday, she'll achieve the rare EGOT -- meaning she would have won all four of the biggest awards in entertainment: an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

Erivo said she's already "really excited" to talk about the second half of Wicked, "Wicked: For Good," which will be released in theaters in November.

"I'm excited to see the journey that they've been on, I'm excited to share it with people. This is literally a bookmark in a very big, beautiful book," Erivo told ABC entertainment reporter George Pennacchio on the red carpet.

Erivo is slated to perform at the Oscars -- but she didn't reveal any details.

"When you see it, you will know," Erivo told Pennacchio.

"Yeah! You'll hear it!" Goldberg added. "Just be patient!"
