Ethan Slater is marking Ariana Grande 's first Oscar nomination with a sweet tribute. Shortly after the announcement on Thursday, the actor shared a photo of his "Wicked" co-star on Instagram. The image captures Grande from behind, standing on a balcony with pink balloons in hand, gazing out a window.

Grande received an Oscar nod for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Glinda in Jon M Chu's musical adaptation. Announced today, the Oscar nominations saw Wicked receiving ten nods, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba.
