Oscar Snubees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande Won a Grammy for Wicked

Of all the consolation prizes, a Grammy is a pretty good one. Less than two weeks after Wicked: For Good got entirely shut out from the Oscars, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande won a Grammy … for a song from the first Wicked movie. During the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony prior to the televised awards show, Erivo and Grande won a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Defying Gravity,” which is from the first Wicked film. Elphie and Glinda beat out Katseye, SZA and Kendrick Lamar, Rosé and Bruno Mars, and KPop Demon Hunters. It’s Erivo’s second Grammy Award and Ariana Grande’s third. Good news!
