One was that there&#8217;s the moment when Glinda gives the hat to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/wicked-star-cynthia-erivo-on-soaring-to-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Elphaba<\/a><\/span>, which is given as a joke,&#8221; Tazewell explained. &#8220;The way that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/wicked-director-jon-m-chu-casting-movie-impact-part-two-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">John Chu<\/a><\/span> wanted to start the film, he was describing it from the very beginning, that it would be, you would see it from a distance, and it would look like a mountain, and then you&#8217;d come in close and you realize it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The costume designer&#8217;s journey began in the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would sleep outside and behind our house in Akron, Ohio, and dream about what our lives would be as adults,&#8221; Tazewell reflected. &#8220;It was being, becoming famous, and, you know, leading a glamorous life&#8230; but I didn&#8217;t know that it would give me the full, rich life that I&#8217;ve had, which has been being a costume designer, working with amazing talents, being able to tell really important stories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With this Oscar win, Tazewell expressed gratitude for the opportunity to inspire others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being an inspiration for just all of the young people who find themselves in the world of costume and want to express themselves creatively. I mean, it&#8217;s exactly where I came from, as well developing as a creative person, going from wanting to be a performer to wanting to be a costume designer, and finding my power in that. I&#8217;m so grateful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/cbs-village\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/><\/svg><\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/analisa-novak\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Analisa Novak<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Analisa Novak is a content producer for CBS News and the Emmy Award-winning &#8220;CBS Mornings.&#8221; Based in Chicago, she specializes in covering live events and exclusive interviews for the show.
