Ariana Grande Will Break A 51 Year Old Oscars Record If She Wins Best Supporting Actress

Ariana Grande as Glinda from Wicked with an Oscar in front of her wand

An Oscar win for Wicked star Ariana Grande-Butera could be historic. Although she is best known as a pop star (using the name “Ariana Grande”), she began her career as an actor in projects like Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Kat. With 2024’s Wicked, she made her triumphant return to acting three years after an appearance in Netflix’s Don’t Look Up. In the Broadway musical adaptation, she plays the popular and seemingly shallow Glinda, who forms an unlikely friendship with Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), the future Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

Ariana Grande-Butera is a front-runner for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod at the 2025 Oscar nominations, having been nominated in that category at many other major awards shows, including the BAFTA Awards, the Critics Choice Awards, the Golden Globes, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. So far, only the Golden Globe has been presented, with Zoe Saldaña winning for Emilia Pérez over Grande-Butera. However, there is still a strong chance that Grande-Butera could take home the Oscar, which would break a half-century-old record.
