As a theater enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the craft and the awards that honor it, I must say Cynthia Erivo’s words resonate strongly with me. Having walked the red carpet myself, I can attest to the thrill and anticipation that comes with an Oscar nomination. Ariana Grande’s performance in “Wicked” was nothing short of extraordinary, and it would be a travesty if she wasn’t recognized by the Academy.
I remember my own experience with awards, where I stood on the brink of history, hoping to become an EGOT winner myself. While I didn’t make it that year, I understand Cynthia’s determination and passion for her fellow artist. If anything, Ariana’s nomination would be a testament to the power of music and its ability to transcend boundaries, just like “Wicked” has done.
Now, to lighten the mood, let me share a little joke: I wonder if Ariana will bring her gummy vitamins and thermos to the Oscars, too? After all, an award ceremony without some sweet treats and hot beverages might just feel like a rehearsal!
Cynthia Erivo has made it clear that she’s ready to create a stir if Ariana Grande isn’t nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Galinda/Glinda in the 2024 film adaptation of Wicked.
Under the guidance of director Jon M. Chu, the movie adaptation of “Wicked” made its way to American cinemas in November 2024. Based on the well-known Broadway musical, this film features Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, with the latter portraying Elphaba Thropp.
Erivo firmly believes that Grande deserves a Best Supporting Actress nomination from the Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in Wicked, according to her statements.
What did Cynthia Erivo say about Ariana Grande’s performance in Wicked?
Erivo stated that she would cause a stir if the lady is not granted her nomination. She expressed that it’s an extremely challenging situation to dive into something as complex as this, especially when it’s one’s debut.
Prior to this year’s event on Sunday, Rachel Berry (I mean, Idina Menzel, for those unfamiliar with her role as Rachel Berry) has not received an Oscar nomination; however, her outstanding performance in Wicked has already secured her a nod for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture at the Golden Globes.
In 2020, Cynthia Erivo earned two Academy Award nominations – one for Best Actress in a Leading Role and another for Best Original Song – for Harriet. Unfortunately, she didn’t win in either category. However, she has already claimed several prestigious awards, such as the Emmy, Grammy, and Tony, making her just one step away from achieving the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) if she wins the Best Actress award at the Oscars for a potential future project titled Wicked.
Grandes statement about Erivo could be rephrased as: “Miss Elphaba, you truly merit your bouquets. I’m eagerly anticipating the moment I get to grab hold of your train on your way to achieving an EGOT – and don’t forget about your gummy vitamins and thermos!
Currently performing in numerous theaters throughout the U.S., Wicked can also be rented or bought for streaming on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango Now, and others. On November 21, 2025, “Wicked: For Good” will be released for home viewing by Universal Pictures.
Oscar nominations will be announced on Friday, January 17, 2025.
