The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has formally invited 20-year-old actress Rachel Zegler to be one of the presenters at the Oscar awards ceremony on Sunday, March 27.
The invitation came after Zegler commented on social media that she had not been invited to participate in the gala.
“Hopefully some last-minute miracle happens and I get to celebrate our movie in person, but hey, I guess that's the way things are sometimes. Thanks for all the shock and outrage, I'm disappointed too. But it's okay. Very proud of our film,” said the young Latina who plays the character María in the West Side Story directed by Steven Spielberg.
