Why wasn’t “West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler invited to this Sunday’s Oscar ceremony? While it’s a mystery to her and her fans, there may be a fairly simple reason.
A source who’s involved with this season’s awards campaigns tells TheWrap that Zegler’s role in Disney’s live-action “Snow White” in London is “another layer” to the story.
She was able to attend the BAFTAs and the Critics Choice Awards, which had a London component this year, on March 13, but to fly her back to Los Angeles might jeopardize “Snow White,” something Disney isn’t keen on, the insider says.
