Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are probably feeling “Popular” right about now … they both just landed Oscar nominations for their work in “Wicked.”
The full list of nominees was announced early Thursday morning, with Cynthia nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Ariana scored a spot in the Actress in a Supporting Role category … where fellow former child star Selena Gomez was notably snubbed for her work in “Emilia Pérez.”

Their nominations weren’t surprising, given the way “Wicked” dominated the box office at the end of 2024, but it’s got to feel good for Cynthia and Ariana … who put on one hell of a press tour when the musical movie dropped in November.
Ariana was seriously moved by the nomination … as she posted her gratitude to Instagram shortly after her big honor was announced.
