Ariana Grande’s Performance in Wicked Impresses Audiences, But Oscar Chances Diminish
Ariana Grande’s performance as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked has been widely praised, but her chances of winning an Oscar have diminished after her loss at the Golden Globes. Grande starred alongside Cynthia Erivo as the lead cast members of Wicked, and their chemistry in Glinda and Elphaba’s growing friendship was a joy to watch.
Despite the film’s massive box office success, Grande’s loss at the Golden Globes means that her Oscars hopes for Wicked are looking less likely. The Golden Globes were a huge chance for Grande to win for Wicked, and the ceremony would have been the perfect chance to become the Oscars front-runner.
The Golden Globes are known for their willingness to branch out and nominate films that have a lot of buzz and celebrity backing, as well as those that have found box office success. Given the Golden Globes’ more buzz-centered approach, it should have been one of the best chances for Grande to take home an award for her performance as Glinda.
However, the competition was tough, and the win ultimately went to Zoe Saldaña for her work in Emilia Pérez. While the Oscars nominees and winners are far from set in stone yet, Grande’s loss at the Golden Globes certainly means that her Oscars hopes for Wicked are looking less likely.
Despite this, Grande still has a shot at winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. The competition is not over yet, and Grande’s performance in Wicked has been widely praised. However, the odds are against her, and it remains to be seen whether she will be able to overcome the competition and take home the award.
