Ariana Grande is a first-time Oscar-nominee and yep, you guessed it, she says she can’t stop crying about it.
Grande marked the milestone on Thursday with an emotional post on her Instagram page, coming just a few hours after she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role as Glinda in “Wicked.”
“Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition,” Grande wrote. “I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise.”
Grande shared photos in her post of herself as a young girl wearing a Dorothy costume in a nod to the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz,” as well as a video of herself as a youth singing a song from the Broadway production of “Wicked.”
“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,” Grande added. “I’m so proud of you, tiny.”
The Oscar nominations were announced Thursday morning by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott. “Emilia Pérez” led with 13 nods, followed by “Wicked” and “The Brutalist” with 10 each.
