Ariana Grande Stuns in Floral Dress After Oscar Nomination

BBG News

She admitted she ‘couldn’t stop crying’ after receiving her first ever Oscar nomination.

It wasn’t unexpected that Ariana Grande was in a jovial mood, given that she graced The Graham Norton Show shortly following the announcement of the Academy Awards shortlist.

31-year-old musician received recognition for Best Supporting Actress category due to her outstanding portrayal of Glinda in the play Wicked.

On Friday, Ariana casually sat on Graham’s well-known floral couch, joining celebrities like Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, Don Gilbert, and Olly Alexander during the show’s taping. This entertaining event will be broadcast on Friday.

The actress embodied her behind-the-scenes persona, Glinda, in a breathtaking gown. The upper half was adorned with shimmering silver sequins, while the lower half transformed into a beautiful blue skirt featuring delicate floral patterns.

On stage, she portrayed her backstage character, Glinda, in an enchanting dress. The top was embellished with sparkling silver sequins, and it gracefully transitioned into a charming blue skirt embroidered with flowers.

The star brought Glinda, her on-set alternate identity, to life in a captivating outfit. The upper portion boasted silver sequins, while the lower half showcased a blue floral skirt.

Each of these options maintains the original meaning while providing a fresh perspective.

Following the announcement of her nomination, Ariana posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, alongside a childhood photo showing her dressed up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

She paused amidst her sobs to express a heartfelt thank you to @theacademy for the incredible honor they bestowed upon her.

‘I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise. 

I’m incredibly grateful and touched to be among such talented individuals, and it’s an even more special moment knowing that little Ari was watching Judy Garland sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” right before the magical bubble appeared. I’m incredibly proud of you, tiny!

‘Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy.

I’d like to express my gratitude to @jonmchu for providing this opportunity and for being an exceptionally inspiring leader, remarkable individual, and a truly valiant friend. I take immense pride in being part of the wonderful Wicked family.

I’m simply bursting with pride for my beloved sister, Elphie, and the phenomenal person you are, @cynthiaerivo. Your genius knows no bounds, and it is only fitting that you should have every tulip in every garden. My love for you is endless and unconditional, now and forever.

I’m struggling slightly with the right words at the moment, but I’m finding it important to focus on breathing. However, I want to express my deepest gratitude. Oh, how grateful I am! To the Universal, Marc, my family, and everyone who has touched my heart, thank you from the bottom of my soul.

‘Lemons and melons and pears, oh my.’

In a sweet gesture reminiscent of her character’s favorite color, her partner Ethan Slater (who also starred in Wicked) posted a picture of her with a cluster of pink balloons.

Ariana is joined by Felicity Jones from The Brutalist, Zoe Saldana in Emilia Perez, Isabella Rossellini in Conclave, and Monica Barbaro from A Complete Unknown in the category of Best Supporting Actress.

10 nominations were received by the stage production of “Wicked”, signifying a notable achievement for its Broadway adaption. Notably, lead actress Cynthia Erivo was recognized with a Best Leading Actress nomination.

Instead, Cynthia competes against Demi Moore (The Substance), Mikey Madison (Anora), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), and Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here) for the chance to win the award.

Both versions aim to present the information in an easy-to-understand manner while maintaining the original meaning.

On Thursday afternoon, another British actor, Ralph Fiennes, was recognized with a nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role. This recognition came following his remarkable transformation into Cardinal Lomeli for the film Conclave.

Additionally, nominees for this category include Adrien Brody from “The Brutalist”, Timothée Chalamet from “A Complete Unknown”, Colman Domingo from “Sing Sing”, and Sebastian Stan from “The Apprentice”.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle expert, it’s worth noting that the spotlight was absent from one remarkable figure – Daniel Craig – in the category under discussion. Unfortunately, despite his captivating portrayal in “Queer,” he was overlooked and did not receive a nomination.

In other locations, an annual event will feature a competition between Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Perez, Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Substance to determine the Best Picture.

As an ardent cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the captivating Spanish film “Emilia Perez” has truly stolen the spotlight with its impressive 13 nominations! Among these accolades, it’s vying for Best Picture, International Feature Film, Original Score, Adapted Screenplay, and Actress in a Supporting Role.

After a delay due to the destructive Los Angeles wildfires, the nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards have now been announced.

During a live broadcast from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles, comedian and actor Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang are announcing the nominees for this year’s awards.

The 97th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2, will continue as planned with comedian and television host, Conan O’Brien, at the helm.

The Graham Norton Show airs at 11:05pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
