Awards Circuit Podcast: Ariana Grande on Glinda's new 'Wicked 2' song and the 'Eternal Sunshine' deluxe release.

Now, in her most ambitious turn yet, she’s poised to dazzle the Oscars as Glinda, the Good Witch, in Universal Pictures’ blockbuster smash “ Wicked.” But Grande’s venture into the emerald world of Oz is more than just a role — it’s a manifestation of her lifelong dream, one she’s earned through hard work, dedication, and, as she puts it, “a lot of love.” In a conversation during the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Grande opened up about the deeply personal journey of becoming Glinda, the emotional toll of “Wicked,” her plans for a deluxe version of her album, and her thoughts on what the future of movie musicals should look like. Variety’s “Awards Circuit” podcast, hosted by Clayton Davis, Jazz Tangcay, Emily Longeretta, Jenelle Riley and Michael Schneider, who also produces, is your one-stop source for lively conversations about the best in film and television.
