Had Zegler been nominated for an individual award, had “West Side Story” been the clear front runner for Best Picture, and had she not been on set for “Snow White,” this would be an entirely different story. However, when Entertainment Weekly reached out, a spokesperson for Disney called the situation “completely out of hand.” As they tell it, the lack of invitation was not a slight against Zegler, but an issue of production scheduling. “‘Snow White’ is deep into production in London, on a tight schedule, and Rachel is first on the call-sheet,” the spokesperson said. “Nevertheless, this Sunday will be an important full-circle moment for ‘West Side Story’ and we’re glad that it might be possible for Rachel to be there to celebrate.”

Former A.V. Club writer Myles McNutt wrote an impassioned analysis of the situation, noting that “In the absence of full details, the false discourse has continued unabated, framing this as a fundamental injustice instead of what it really is: a bleak reminder of Disney’s corporate overbearance [sic] and how it swallows all in its wake, as evidenced by how Zegler’s involvement in that film she’s lucky to be shooting in London is keeping her from cheering on her co-star’s Oscar win on Sunday.”

No word yet on what Zegler will be presenting or who she will present with, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for Tony Hawk.
