Rachel Zegler, 'West Side Story' star, says she wasn't invited to the Oscars - CNN

(CNN)Rachel Zegler's movie is nominated for a best picture Academy Award, but she says she'll be celebrating like the rest of us.

The 20-year-old actress starred as Maria Vasquez in the musical drama "West Side Story," which won her a Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture comedy or musical.
On Sunday in an Instagram post on her verified account, one of her followers wrote in the comments: "Can't wait to see what you'll be wearing on Oscar night."
Zegler responded, "i'm not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend's flannel."
"Idk y'all i have tried it all but it doesn't seem to be happening :') I will root for west side story from my couch and be proud of the work we so tirelessly did 3 years ago," she went on to say.
"I hope some last minute miracle occurs and I can celebrate our film in person but hey, that's how it goes sometimes, I guess," Zegler wrote. "Thanks for all the shock and outrage - I'm disappointed too. But That's okay. So proud of our movie."
Nominees (Zegler is not nominated) receive tickets, as do presenters, with additional tickets given to studios to distribute as they see fit.
CNN has reached out to reps for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for comment.
The 94th Oscars will be held on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and televised live on ABC.

Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
