The 97th Academy Awards are underway and everyone is saying the same thing about Ariana Grande’s opening song.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the 97th Academy Awards, which have been held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles since 2001, and there are a ton of\u00a0Oscars<\/a>\u00a0up for grabs tonight, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n

Comedian and former talk show host Conan O’Brien is manning the ship this year – the first time the 61-year-old has hosted the Oscars.<\/p>\n

Grande<\/a>, the\u00a0Wicked<\/em>\u00a0star, performed ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and many online have had the same reaction to her performance.<\/p>\n

“Crying,” one person said after watching it, while a second added: “We are like five minutes into the #oscars and i am crying over ariana grande singing somewhere over the rainbow because little ari really did dream this.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a third simply put: “I’M CRYING SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL,” and a fourth quipped: “THIS IS EVERYTHING.”<\/p>\n

Following that beautiful opening, Grande was joined by Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo to perform the one and only ‘Defying Gravity’, leaving not a single dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n

For the 97th edition of the annual awards show, Grande has received her first ever Oscars nomination for Best Supporting Actress thanks to her role in\u00a0Wicked<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Grande made her way onto the Oscars red carpet ahead of the formal proceedings taking place on Sunday, but it was co-star\u00a0Erivo everyone has been speaking about<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Erivo is up for Best Actress at the Oscars, and she appeared on the red carpet recently in an all green outfit.<\/p>\n

While many on social media discuss it, the\u00a0Wicked\u00a0<\/em>star has been speaking to ITV about the meaning behind the bold wardrobe choice.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0actor<\/a>\u00a0began by saying she hasn’t worn her iconic green on any red carpets during awards season, and that it felt fitting to go all out at the Oscars.<\/p>\n

Erivo explained how she wanted something ‘old Hollywood’ and that she feels ‘very special’ in the outfit.<\/p>\n

While one tweet dubbed the outfit ‘demonic’, others online have been extremely positive.<\/p>\n

One fan dubbed the nod to Wicked as ‘epic’, while another on Twitter penned: “Cynthia Erivo just won the red carpet. Everyone else can go home now.”<\/p>\n

While fans have got their eyes on many awards, it’s the Best Picture category that has everyone talking.<\/p>\n

The nominations for Best Picture are:\u00a0Anora<\/em>,\u00a0The Brutalist<\/em>,\u00a0A Complete Unknown<\/em>,\u00a0Conclave<\/em>,\u00a0Dune: Part Two<\/em>,\u00a0Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em>,\u00a0I’m Still Here<\/em>,\u00a0Nickel Boys<\/em>,\u00a0The Substance<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Wicked<\/em>.<\/p>\n
