27 Jan - Ariana Grande couldn't believe that she is now an Oscar-nominated actress.

The singer, who came to prominence playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon show, "Victorious", stated that it felt surreal to hear her name being announced as one of the contenders of the Best Supporting Actress category at the Academy Awards for her performance in "Wicked".

"It is just the absolute honour of my life. Getting to play Glinda was the greatest gift of my life, so just to be recognised in this way for that is an unfathomable honour. And I'm so deeply moved and grateful, and it is far beyond comprehension," she said.

Ariana also said that she immediately had a "voice-note" session with co-star Cynthia Erivo, whom was also nominated in the Best Actress category.

"From our very first day, I knew it was special, and I know every day felt so special to me... I knew how grateful I felt every single morning and every single night, and how fulfilled my creative heart felt," she said.

She will be facing competition from Felicity Jones ("The Brutalist"), Monica Barbaro ("A Complete Unknown"), Isabella Rossellini ("Conclave") and Zoe Saldana ("Emilia Perez").
