Ariana Grande fans 'sobbing' at cute detail in Oscars nomination post Ariana Grande left fans "sobbing" after she posted a statement on Instagram following her Academy Awards nomination.
Grande, who was nominated for her role as Glinda in Jon M. Chu's adaptation of the beloved musical released last year, praised the cast and Academy in a post to Instagram.
"I'm humbled and deeply honoured to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny Ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered.
What really struck a chord, however, was a nostalgic reference in her post that eagle-eyed followers noted paid homage to the original Wicked stage show.
The 31-year-old singer and actress took to social media to give a shout-out to The Academy, leaving fans gushing as they declared their pride for her achievements.
