However, I was so impressed by her performance inWicked.

In fact, I think Glinda is by far the bestcharacter inWicked.

However, after watching the film, everything made sense.

Grande, Erivo, and the rest of the cast ofWickedgive amazing performances in the film.

I specifically found myself laughing so hard at everything Glinda did in the film.

InThe HustlerandThe Color of Money, Newman plays Eddie Felson, a pool hustler.

Newman was also nominated for Best Actor for his role inThe Hustler.

However, it is not impossible.

Therefore, the franchise still has a lot of good faith with Academy voters.

Unlike in the first film,Grande’s character will sing an original song inWicked 2.

Therefore, there’s still a chance thatAriana Grandewill win an Oscar at the 2026 Academy Awards.
