Wait, what?
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” is nominated for 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, but its lead actress Rachel Zegler says she wasn’t invited to attend next Sunday’s ceremony.
Zegler responded to a fan on Instagram asking what gown she was going to wear. Zegler replied: “I’m not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend’s flannel.”
Add this to the pile-up of clusterfucks the Oscars and Disney have amassed these past few weeks. From what I can gather, most of the principal casts of the 10 nominated Best Picture nominees will be there, but not Maria!
Exarchopoulos will of course forever be known for her lead turn opposite Léa Seydoux in Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winner “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” released in 2013.
