Ariana Grande wins major award following Wicked success

by

As a lifelong music and film enthusiast who has witnessed the rise of many talented artists, I must say that Ariana Grande‘s transformation into a formidable actress in “Wicked” is nothing short of remarkable! The way she effortlessly blends her exceptional vocal prowess with captivating acting and impeccable comic timing is truly awe-inspiring.

Ariana Grande will be granted the Rising Star Award at The Palm Springs International Film Awards, acknowledging her exceptional acting in the production of Wicked.

Last month, the film adaptation of the popular musical hit the big screen. In it, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo play Galinda Upland (who later becomes Glinda, the Good Witch of the North) and Elphaba Thropp (who eventually transforms into the Wicked Witch of the West).

The movie is garnering exceptional praise from critics, and this is evident as it’s breaking records at the box office. During its second weekend, it set a new record for the highest-earning Broadway adaptation in U.S. box office history.

As reported by Variety, Ariana Grande is set to receive the highly esteemed Rising Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards on January 3. This recognition comes for her outstanding performance in Wicked.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “In the movie ‘Wicked’, Ariana Grande knocked it out of the park as Glinda! Her powerful acting skills, seamlessly blending her extraordinary vocal talent, spot-on character development, and hilarious comedic delivery, truly took my breath away.

Ariana demonstrates her versatility as a world-renowned artist by effortlessly moving into films, taking on her first significant leading role. This performance showcases her as a talented individual with diverse abilities that are beyond question.

Ariana Grande is undoubtedly starting off with numerous awards in her acting career, and it’s a pleasure for us to bestow upon her the Rising Star Award.

The performance by Grande in “Wicked” has sparked a lot of talk about potential Oscar nominations, with many suggesting she could even take home the award. If she does win, it would suggest that her chances of winning an Oscar in the future are increasing.

In the very same year that they were honored with the Palm Springs Rising Star award, Terrence Howard, Anna Kendrick, and Jennifer Lawrence all received Oscar nominations. Interestingly, Alicia Vikander earned an Oscar months subsequent to her own victory at the Palm Springs Rising Star awards.

The story of “Wicked” will conclude in November 2025 as it has been divided into two films, which means that the leading actors might have an outstanding year again in 2026.

Wicked is out now in cinemas.
