In 2016, the Broadway star was awarded a Tony for her portrayal of Celie Harris Johnson in the play “The Color Purple” on Broadway. The following year, she received a Grammy for best musical theater album, once again for her role as Celie. Additionally, she earned a Daytime Emmy Award in 2017, which she received for her performance alongside the rest of the cast of “The Color Purple” on the show “Today.
In 2020, Erivo received Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Best Original Song (“Stand Up”) for the movie “Harriet”. The song also earned her a Grammy nomination. This year, Erivo has been nominated for the musical “Wicked”, marking her second opportunity to achieve an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards).
Wicked garnered 10 nominations in this year’s Academy Awards, among them being best picture and a nod for Ariana Grande in the best supporting actress category, alongside Erivo. The movie shared the second-highest number of nominations with The Brutalist, with Emilia Pérez leading the pack at 13.
Such opportunities don’t arise frequently, and when they do, it’s almost blasphemy to let them slip away without expressing gratitude,” Erivo expressed on social media about her accolade. “I am filled with gratitude, grateful to @theacademy, thankful to be a part of something that makes people feel acknowledged, grateful to be a component in the machine of a work that makes us believe in miracles, grateful for having lived my dream, and extremely grateful for this incredible acknowledgement.
The actress also acknowledged her sister Ariana Grande, penning “What a pleasure it is to be here alongside you as you climb and astonish, revealing the actress you were destined to become. My heartfelt congratulations go out to you for your first nomination! I couldn’t imagine sharing this moment with anyone else in the world.
