Rachel Zegler says she wasn't invited to the Oscars: “Thanks for all the shock and outrage — I’m disappointed, too. But that’s okay”
Photo: Jon Kopaloff/WireImage West Side Story is nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture, but its lead actress won’t be walking the red carpet on Sunday. No, Rachel Zegler doesn’t have COVID from attending the BAFTAs, and no, she isn’t busy working on other projects. It turns out she wasn’t invited.
Zegler revealed the news on Instagram over the weekend, after a fan commented on her most recent post that they couldn’t wait to see what she would wear to the Oscars. “I’m not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend’s flannel,” she replied. In a follow-up comment, she explained that while she “tried it all,” it didn’t look like she would be making it to the Oscars. “I will root for West Side Story from my couch and be proud of the work we so tirelessly did 3 years ago.
The Oscar invitation process is a bit of a mystery, so it’s unclear who is to blame for this very obvious oversight. According to the Los Angeles Times, nominees each receive two tickets , as do presenters, and a sizable number of tickets are set aside for lawyers, production teams, media, accountants, and other insiders who support the Academy. Studios reportedly also get a significant share of tickets, and in theory the number should be proportional to the number of nominations.
