Ariana Grande Wins Her First Big-Time Acting Award for Wicked!

Buy Me A Coffee

Ariana Grande just snagged her first major acting award, and let’s just say, she understood the assignment.

The 31-year-old pop diva turned actress is playing Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movie, proving that she can serve vocals and facial expressions simultaneously. This is her first major film gig, aside from a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Netflix’s Don’t Look Up. (Remember her singing about the apocalypse? Iconic.)

Now, Ariana isn’t just dipping her toes into Hollywood—she’s practically diving headfirst into a pool of gold statues. Word on the street (or rather, in the Academy’s echo chambers) is that she’s one of the frontrunners for Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Oscars. And if that wasn’t enough, the Palm Springs International Film Awards just crowned her with their Rising Star Award for 2025. Yes, Ari, you better shine like a chandelier in Oz.

The big announcement came with some equally grand words from Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi, who clearly has a thesaurus and isn’t afraid to use it.
“In Wicked, Ariana Grande’s portrayal of Glinda elevates her to new heights…” (Was that a reference to her ponytail? Probably.) He went on to gush about her “brilliant characterization” and “impeccable comedic timing.” Basically, she nailed it like Elphaba hitting that final Defying Gravity note.

And let’s not forget the ultimate compliment: “Ariana is an iconic global performer who has seamlessly transitioned to film.” Translation: Not every pop star can act, but Ari came, she saw, she sparkled.

The Rising Star Award is just the beginning of her Hollywood takeover. Will she sweep award season? Will her Wicked performance make us all cry, laugh, and question our life choices? All signs point to yes.

So, in true Glinda fashion, let’s say it loud for the people in the back: Ariana Grande, you’re not just good—you’re popular.
