Ariana Grande’s Golden Globe Nomination and Oscar Buzz: A New Milestone in Her Acting Career

Ariana Grande’s journey through the awards season has begun on a high note, with her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The nomination is a major milestone in Ariana Grande’s acting career, earning her recognition for her role in Wicked. This has sparked discussions about her future at the Academy Awards, with many considering her a frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress, alongside co-star Cynthia Erivo.

While Wicked’s iconic songs are ineligible for the Best Original Song category at the Oscars, fans remain hopeful that Grande and Erivo may still perform at the ceremony. Both actresses are part of one of the most anticipated films of the year, and their powerful performances have garnered significant attention.

When asked about the possibility of performing at the Oscars, Grande expressed her excitement. “Of course, we love singing with each other,” she said at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominee Celebration. “I’ll sing together absolutely anywhere, anytime, especially in celebration of Wicked, and I love her; that’s my sister. Say the word and we’ll be there.”

The Golden Globe event, held before the January 5 show, was a star-studded gathering. Grande attended the Beverly Hills luncheon with her mother, Joan Grande, and shared a special moment with fellow nominee Zoe Saldaña. The event saw several prominent Hollywood figures, including Adam Brody, Pamela Anderson, and Kathryn Hahn.

“It’s just really exciting,” she said. “To be here with so many amazing people and to be recognized for something so special is incredible.”

A highlight for Grande was learning that her childhood idol, Imogen Heap, had seen Wicked and loved it. Additionally, Grande had the chance to meet legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, which left her in awe. She described the encounter as both overwhelming and an honor.
