In reaction to Variety's prediction that the actress is the frontrunner to win the Oscar, a social media user wrote, ''And the Oscar goes to ... ARIANA GRANDE!!!!!!!' I can hear it so clearly.”

“After seeing Wicked, I'm incredibly confused by the hate Ariana Grande has been getting online... Not only was it a great acting performance by somebody who's primarily a singer, but I think she deserves serious Oscar consideration,” penned another.
