Ariana Grande Hilariously Reveals The Unexpectedly Bizarre Call She Got After Her Oscar Nomination

The Wicked star shared with Jimmy Kimmel how she got a congratulatory call after her Oscar nomination that initially had her alarmed.

Pop star Ariana Grande received her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Glinda in the movie musical adaptation of Wicked.

While fans and family celebrated the news, Grande was unnerved when she saw that her gynecologist had attempted to reach out to her.


As soon as she learned of her Oscar nod, the 31-year-old shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live that her mom "called instantly" as did her best friends, Aaron Gross and Doug Middlebrook, as well as her therapist and gynecologist.

Kimmel quipped that it was "a little weird" that her gynecologist would call to congratulate her, but Grande assured it was "Lovely."

She recalled:

"Oh “I was like, ‘Oh my god. It’s been a while. We good? Is everything great?' "

Kimmel imagined how alarming it must've been for her to scroll through her message notifications from "a hundred people" and see that her gynecologist was among them.

“She was so sweet," recalled the "Thank U, Next" singer, adding:

"She was like, ‘Oh my God, you did it, I’m so proud.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you, we’ll hug over the next, you know, breast exam or whatever.’”

Grande lobbied hard for the role ever since she heard early murmurings of a Wicked movie adaptation.

She went through a grueling audition process after investing in singing and acting lessons in preparation for the role she'd always wanted to portray.

All the hard work paid off, and her experience became a full circle moment when Grande flew to Boca Rotan, Florida, to see Wicked in her childhood theater alongside her beloved Nonna, who took Grande to see Wicked on Broadway in 2003 when she was 10.

The subject of her grandmother came up early in January when an Access Hollywood reporter asked if Grande's grandmother was "still alive."

Grande graciously handled the breach in interview etiquette and affirmed her 99-year-old Nonna was still alive and was the second person she called to share news of her Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe nomination.

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
