E! News Digital Lands Shorty Award Nominations: All the Details Including How to Vote

It’s time to get out and vote.

Finalists for the 2025 Shorty Awards—the annual prize honoring the best work on digital and social platforms—have been revealed, and E! News’ digital teams have received four finalist placements. Indeed, the organization has been recognized for its coverage of Wicked’s Los Angeles premiere in November and the digital series Hot Goss.

During the November Wicked event, E! News partnered with Fandango to present exclusive red carpet interviews with the film’s stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, as well as footage of the pair engaging with fans and content creators.

“It’s a very supportive witch coven, I have to say,” Ariana told E! News of the women who had filled the roles of Glinda and Elphaba before her, including original stars Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. “Every single one of our sister witches has been very, very, very supportive. We just feel so honored to be a part of this legacy and to be the ones in the movie. It’s such a sweet thing to share with them.”
