Spielberg's West Side Story received multiple Oscar nominations but the leading actress did not receive an invitation to the awards ceremony

The 94th Academy Awards will be held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, USA on March 27. According to foreign media reports, Spielberg's blockbuster "West Side Story" has received multiple Oscar nominations, but to the surprise of the industry, the leading actress Rachel Ziegler was not on the list of those invited to attend the awards ceremony.

• "West Side Story" is a musical romance film produced by 20th Century Fox, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Ansel Elgort, Rachel Ziegler, Rita Moreno and David Alvarez.

The film is adapted from the 1957 Broadway musical and was released in the United States on December 10, 2021. It tells the story of the fight between the "Jet Gang" and the "Shark Gang" on the streets of New York in the 1950s, and the love story of Tony and Maria, the "star-crossed couple" who belong to different gangs.

•It is worth noting that "West Side Story" has received as many as 7 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress. Although it was not nominated for Best Actress, the main cast of the film should have received invitations to attend. However, the heroine Rachel Ziegler was not on the list of those invited to attend the awards ceremony.

•Although outsiders speculate that the reduction in “unnecessary personnel” may be due to epidemic prevention and control, and foreign media have consulted Disney on this matter, Disney has not yet made any official response.
