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.
