Ariana Grande’s acting career is soaring to new heights.
After all, it was announced Jan. 23 that she earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at this year’s Oscars ceremony—to be hosted by Conan O’Brien on Mar. 2 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles—for her role as Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked.
