Rachel Zegler Has Accepted The Academy’s Invitation To Present At The Oscars
The most dramatic will they/won’t they of this year’s Oscar season has finally come to an acceptable end, even if one of the parties is likely still more than a little embarrassed at the situation. Rachel Zegler may be playing Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation, but less than a week ago she was living an unwanted Cinderella fantasy when she revealed she had not been invited to the ball (aka the 2022 Academy Awards). After that news went viral, the Academy Awards reached out and offered her not just an invitation, but the opportunity to present an award. Well, Rachel has decided to take them up on their offer, and she’s confirmed as a presenter this Sunday.
Rachel Zegler Has Been Invited To Present At The Oscars After Saying She Wasn’t Invited
Over the weekend Rachel Zegler, who plays Maria in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, took to social media to reveal that even though she’d “tried it all,” she couldn’t score a ticket to this year’s Oscars. Social media users were “outraged” at Rachel’s snub, mainly because she’s the star of a movie that’s nominated for seven awards, including Best Picture. Well, it turns out publicly airing your grievances pays off, because, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Rachel has been asked to present at the Oscars this Sunday.
Rachel Zegler Says She Didn’t Get An Invitation To This Year’s Academy Awards (UPDATE)
Rachel Zegler is the star of West Side Story, one of the ten movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars this coming Sunday (West Side Story has also been nominated for six other awards). She’s also a Golden Globe Award Best Actress winner, for her performance in WSS. So you would maybe think that she would be the Academy’s ideal candidate to receive an invitation to the 2022 Oscars in her mailbox. But apparently not! Rachel Zegler revealed on social media that you won’t see the camera cut to her face laughing politely in response to those opening monologue jokes, because the Academy Awards didn’t invite her to come.
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” Didn’t Do So Well At The Box Office And People Are Blaming Ansel Elgort
No film franchise is safe from Hollywood’s obsession with remakes and reboots, not even top-tier musicals like West Side Story. After long delays and early reviews calling it a “TRIUMPH” and “PHENOMENAL,” Steven Spielberg’s take on WSS hit theaters on Friday… and it tanked, earning only around $10 million so far. For comparative purposes, its production budget was $100 million. Yikes. Spielberg and co. may have to let the Jets and Sharks loose on the streets to bully moviegoers into seeing the new WSS! Can you imagine being threatened by jazz hands when you’re just trying to buy tickets to see Encanto?
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” Is Getting Rave Reviews
Somebody please check on Lady Gaga because the critics are finally shouting A STAR IS BORN and it’s not because they just now got around to watching their screeners from three years ago. They are talking about Rachel Zegler who makes her big-screen debut as Maria in Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner’s remake of West Side Story which in early reviews is being heralded as “phenomenal” and a “triumph,” with outstanding performances by Rachel, Ariana DeBose as Anita and David Alvarez as Bernardo, that Ansel Elgort is also in. Finally, Martin Scorsese can stop asking who he has to blow to get some CINEMA up in this bitch! Turns out it was his old pal Spielberg all along.
Gal Gadot Will Play The Evil Queen In Disney’s Live-Action “Snow White” Film
Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the hottest bitch of all? Duh, it’s Gal Gadot! Yep, Gal’s been cast to play the Evil Queen in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Snow White, which is set to start production in 2022. Rachel Zegler will play Snow White. I mean, say what you will about Gal and her acting chops and her politics and her iconic-for-all-the-wrong-reasons “Imagine” video, but she’s definitely attractive enough to play the Evil Queen. And, at the end of the day, that’s pretty much all that matters in show biz.
