Which 'Wicked' performer was snubbed of a Golden Globe nomination?
Golden Globe Awards nominations are out. USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa runs down a list of who was snubbed at this year's ceremony.
Podcasters are taking over the globe — the Golden Globes, to be exact.
The annual awards ceremony honoring the best in film and television will introduce a new category for the best podcast of the year, the organization announced on May 7.
The best podcast award will debut at January's 2026 Golden Globes, hosted by Nikki Glaser, and consist of six nominees. According to the group, the category will recognize podcasts "that have made a significant impact over the past year," and "the top 25 podcasts will qualify." More detailed information about the eligibility requirements was not immediately available, and the Golden Globes said further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
In 2024, Spotify said "The Joe Rogan Experience" was the year's most popular podcast on its platform in the United States, followed by Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" and Theo Von's "This Past Weekend."
This marks the third new category to be introduced at the Golden Globe Awards since 2024. The Globes described the move as part of its effort to give a "platform to the full spectrum of entertainment," while Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne said, "As the world of entertainment continues to evolve, we are excited to recognize new forms of storytelling."

Hoehne continued, "Podcasts have emerged as a profound medium for sharing narratives and building communities across global borders and generations. By celebrating achievements in both audio and visual podcasts, we aim to honor our heritage categories while making room for new voices and formats to be heard."
The Golden Globes previously introduced a pair of new awards in 2024, including for cinematic and box office achievement. This category is meant to honor the year's biggest blockbuster movies, which grossed at least $150 million at the worldwide box office. In the award's inaugural year, the winner was "Barbie," while "Wicked" took the prize in 2025. Winners of the box office achievement category are still eligible for other awards, including best picture.

Starting in 2024, a new award for best stand-up comedy special was also introduced. Comedian Ricky Gervais won the award that year, while Ali Wong received it in January.
Glaser is returning as host of the 2026 Golden Globes after making her debut as emcee in January. The event is scheduled for Jan. 11, 2026.

Ariana Grande's Jennifer Coolidge Impression Wasn't the Most-Watched ‘SNL' Sketch of the Season, This Recurring Character Was
After a historic year for 'Saturday Night Live,' the comedy series ranked their most viral sketches from Season 50, and Ariana Grande's performances came out on top. The 'Wicked' star made her presence known at Studio 8H during her press tour for the blockbuster, with three of her sketches cracking the top five most-watched performances of the season. The pop singer's Jennifer Coolidge impression came in as the 4th most-watched sketch of the season. Grande and Chloe Fineman mirrored their impressions of the 'White Lotus' star as they tested out Maybelline's latest lip product. But the recurring sketch that dominated the season was another one of Grande's: 'Domingo.' The Oscar nominee was joined by a cast of bridesmaids to toast the bride with an original song to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso.' Grande's ability to sing off-key went viral on social media, leading the cast to bring back the sketch format twice more during the season — once for Charli XCX's episode and a third time during the 50th Anniversary special, featuring Carpenter herself. 'Domingo: Babymoon' was the second-most watched sketch of the season. Another sketch from the 'Thank U, Next' singer that was third most-watched overall was 'Castrati,' in which she plays a young boy who is castrated at eight or nine years old to preserve his falsetto singing voice. Her face of general disgust and horror as Antonio became a meme on social media, gaining traction for the sketch across platforms. Several of Timothée Chalamet's performances also cracked the Top 10 most-watched sketches, including his performance as a barista-in-training and a bungee workout instructor. Here's the full list of the top sketches of 'SNL' Season 50: 'Domingo: Bridesmaid Speech' feat. Ariana Grande 'Domingo: Babymoon' feat. Charli XCX 'Castrati' feat. Ariana Grande 'Maybelline' feat. Ariana Grande 'Mid-Day News 2' feat. Shane Gillis 'Bungee' feat. Timothée Chalamet 'Port Authority Duane Reade' feat. John Mulaney 'New Barista Training' feat. Timothée Chalamet 'Washington's Dream 2' feat. Nate Bargatze 'Shrek: The Musical' feat.

Where is Trump's military parade taking place? See route, map
President Donald Trump is getting the military parade he's long wanted this year, as the U.S. Army plans to mark its 250th anniversary with a pomp-filled procession through the streets of the nation's capital, a date coinciding with the president's birthday. "The event is designed not only to showcase the Army's modern capabilities but also to inspire a new generation to embrace the spirit of service, resilience, and leadership that defines the United States," according to a May 21 statement on event organizer's website. "The parade will trace the Army's evolution from the Revolutionary War through to the U.S. Army of Tomorrow." Here's what to know about the parade's route and when it takes place. The military parade is slated for Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C., spanning six blocks and bisecting the National Mall. Celebrations and associated events are set to take place throughout the day, starting with a fitness competition at 9:30 a.m. ET, and an assortment of military demonstrations, equipment displays and live music performances throughout the day. Visitors can expect kid zones, more than 50 vendor and experience booths, and meet-and-greats with "Army soldiers, NFL players, influencers and celebrities," according to the U.S. Army event page. Music: Country singers will perform Army, Trump love a $40M parade. But nothing is planned for Navy, Marines. On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress voted to establish the Continental Army, organizers say, marking the creation of America's first national military force more than a year before the Declaration of Independence. Trump, US Army throwing military parade: How to get tickets The parade will take place along Constitution Avenue NW, starting on Constitution Avenue NW and 23rd Street and ending on 15th Street alongside the National Mall, near the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The procession will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET, passing by Constitution Gardens and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the direction of the White House. It will cut through the National Mall between the Washington Monument and German-American Friendship Garden on one side, and the long grassy expanse of President's Park in front of the White House on the other. The parade is set to cross in front of Trump's viewing stand on Constitution Avenue south of the White House. The parade is expected to end at 7:30 p.m. ET, organizers say. A concert at the Ellipse is scheduled to start when the parade ends, and Army officials say a firework display will begin at 9:45 p.m. ET. This story was updated to fix an inaccuracy.

Washington, D.C., will be the stage for thousands of soldiers, military equipment and musical performances this weekend for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration. The festivities will take place along the National Mall on June 14, which also happens to be Donald Trump's 79th birthday. Trump's push for a military parade started back in his first term, though the idea has been controversial since its conception. But the planned festivities include more than a parade, as the Army event website boasts vendors, kid zones and meet-and-greets with "Army soldiers, NFL players, influencers and celebrities." Plus, there will be live music. As with celebrity endorsements, performers at Trump's events and ceremonies have been a point of contention. So, who will perform at the Army birthday parade?
