The stars of ‘Wicked‘ are set to shine bright at Hollywood’s grand stage, even as their magical melodies aren’t in the running for Best Original Song!
Ariana Grande’s big awards season has started! She got her first Golden Globe nomination for playing a role in the movie Wicked. Now, everyone is excited to see if she’ll get nominated for an Oscar in March as well.
Even though the famous songs from Wicked can’t be part of the Best Original Song category at the Oscars, fans wonder if Ariana and her co-star Cynthia Erivo might still perform at the show. After all, Wicked is one of the most popular movies and musicals this year!
Of course, we love singing with each other. 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.
Grande told The Hollywood Reporter at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominee Celebration on Tuesday.
Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in Wicked, is also up for a Golden Globe and is getting a lot of attention for the Oscars.

Ariana Grande attended a special event in Beverly Hills with her mom, Joan Grande. While there, she met other stars like Zoe Saldaña. Ariana talked about how excited people are about the movie and shared how much it means to hear what fans think, since a second part, Wicked: For Good, is coming out next year!
Imogen Heap, my musical idol since I was a young girl; hearing that she saw it with her daughter and loved it, that was very exciting. We got to meet Steven Spielberg, that was also incredibly overwhelming and such an honor. And he was so kind, and it was just really exciting. You have these idols in music and film, and then to hear a kind thing said about your work is really extraordinarily special.
Grande said
The Golden Globe event, before the big awards show on January 5, had many famous people there. Some nominees included Adam Brody, Pamela Anderson, Kathryn Hahn, Mikey Madison, Hiroyuki Sanada, Cooper Koch, and Kris Bowers. The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, a company owned by Penske Media and Eldridge.
