Ariana Grande is a first-time Oscar-nominee and yep, you guessed it, she says she can’t stop crying about it. Grande marked the milestone on Thursday with an emotional post on her Instagram page, coming just a few hours after she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role as Glinda in “Wicked.

The adaptation of the Broadway musical landed on the 2025 Oscar nominations list ten times, and that included a nod for Ariana Grande in the Best Supporting Actress category. Fittingly, the singer celebrated the news on Instagram in the most Ariana Grande way possible.

Ethan Slater is marking Ariana Grande 's first Oscar nomination with a sweet tribute. Shortly after the announcement on Thursday, the actor shared a photo of his "Wicked" co-star on Instagram. The image captures Grande from behind, standing on a balcony with pink balloons in hand, gazing out a window.
