To no ones surprise, we’re really excited for Ariana Grande and her Oscar nomination. If you have seen Wicked, you know how great she was in the film. Her and Cynthia Erivo blew us away with their portrayals in the movie. Ariana received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress and wrote the most beautiful and heartfelt post on Instagram.
“picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition. i cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise,” she started off the post, “i’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. i’m so proud of you, tiny. thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy.”
She then continued, “thank you @jonmchu for taking this chance on me and for being the most unbelievably brilliant leader, human being, and most fierce friend. i am so deeply proud of my beautiful Wicked family. i am so proud of my Elphie, my sister, my dear @cynthiaerivo. your brilliance is never ending and you deserve every flower (tulip) in every garden. i love you unconditionally, always.”
And then said, “i don’t quite have all my words yet, i’m still trying to breathe. but thank you. oh my goodness, thank you. Universal, Marc, my family, my heart.”
Before finishing off with, “lemons and melons and pears, oh my.”
