When are the Oscars? 98th annual Academy Awards will air at 7 pm ET Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, on NBC.
Though Ariana Grande lost a Critics’ Choice Award and a Golden Globe for her performance in “Wicked: For Good,” at least she was nominated.
The pop star was completely excluded from the 2026 Academy Awards. Grande, her co-star Cynthia Erivo, and the entire “Wicked: For Good” cast were snubbed from Oscar nominations, which were released Thursday, Jan. 22.
The Florida-born multi-hyphenate was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Critics’ Choice Awards earlier this month and the 83rd annual Golden Globes on Jan. 11, but didn’t take home either award.
Here’s what we know about Ariana Grande’s award nominations this year, her next movie role and her upcoming “Eternal Sunshine Tour.”

Listed below are the 2026 Oscar nominations for “Best Supporting Actress.”
- Elle Fanning, “Sentimental Value”
- Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, “Sentimental Value”

The 98th annual Academy Awards ceremony will be at 7 p.m. ET Sunday, March 15, 2026. You can watch the awards ceremony live on ABC with your live TV provider and on Hulu.
