Yesterday, the Oscar nominations were announced and if we’re being honest, some people were robbed. Some weren’t. That being said though, we’ve been loving the social posts that actors have made in regards to their nominations. Yesterday, Ariana Grande’s post made us tear up. We will admit that we were asleep when Cynthia Erivo posted about her nomination.
She posted on Instagram, “Moments like this don’t come along very often, and when they do, it is sacrilege to let them pass by without a moment of gratitude. I am grateful, grateful to @theacademy, grateful to be a part of something that makes people feel seen, grateful to be a cog in the wheel of a piece that makes us believe in magic, grateful to have experienced a dream come true, and deeply deeply grateful for this unbelievable recognition.”
And then continued, “I often get asked what I would say to my younger self. Well today there’s nothing to be said. She is smiling, beaming, glowing from ear to ear. That speaks volumes.”
“To my sister, @arianagrande, what a joy it is to be here with you watching as you ascend and amaze and become the actress you were meant to be. Congratulations first time nominee, I’m so so proud of you!! There is no one in the world I would have wanted to do this with more than you.” she added (making us tear up).
“Thank you @jonmchu, our fearless leader whose kindness provided us with the room to play, you are deserving of all good things and I’m lucky to call you my brother.” she wrote, finishing off the post with, “Marc, Winnie, Stephen, Universal fam, Wicked fam!!! LETS GO!!! 💚🧹”
