Grande took to Instagram to share her excitement at the award nod, posting a throwback photo of her dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, years before she landed her role in the prequel adaptation.
"Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to [the Academy] for this unfathomable recognition," she wrote.
"I'm humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered."
She ended the post with a message to her younger self: "i'm so proud of you, tiny."
The star thanked her director Jon. M Chu, and co-star Cynthia Erivo, who is nominated for Best Actress.
"I don't quite have all my words yet, i'm still trying to breathe. but thank you. oh my goodness, thank you."
