Ariana Grande brought the magic and the awards. She took home Favorite Movie Actress for her performance in "Wicked" as Glinda, proving yet again that she&rsquo;s not just a vocal powerhouse &mdash; she&rsquo;s a screen queen too. Her role as Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo&rsquo;s Elphaba gave fans a fresh yet nostalgic take on the iconic musical, and it clearly struck a chord.
"The Wicked" momentum didn&rsquo;t stop there. The film swept up Favorite Movie and its showstopping anthem &ldquo;Defying Gravity&rdquo; (performed by both Ariana and Cynthia) soared straight to the top &mdash; earning Favorite Song from a Movie. No surprise there. It&rsquo;s the kind of number that echoes long after the credits roll.

Meanwhile, in the animation world, "Inside Out 2" captured the audience&rsquo;s hearts and snatched Favorite Animated Movie. With its vibrant characters, clever humor, and emotionally rich narrative, it wasn&rsquo;t just a hit with kids &mdash; adults felt every second of it too. The sequel dug deeper into the emotional growth of its young heroine, striking a universal nerve without losing its lighthearted touch.
