Grande's Encore: Golden Globe Nod for Wicked Role

Ariana Grande has once again earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Glinda in the recently released "Wicked: For Good." This marks the second time the singer-actress has been recognized in the best supporting actress category for portraying the same character across the two "Wicked" films, a rare achievement.

Grande expressed her surprise and deep honor at the nomination, calling it "blindsiding" and "definitely just as exciting" as her first. Her costar Cynthia Erivo also received a nomination for best actress, musical or comedy, for her role in the film. Both actresses are nominated for the same role in different movies.

With the "Wicked" films now complete, Grande is eager to explore future acting endeavors. She is slated to join the voice cast for an animated adaptation and is set to star in an upcoming comedy. Grande also shared her enthusiasm for potentially returning to theater.
