Summary
It’s another “rumble” at the Oscars! West Side Story star Rachel Zegler’s made a major splash in her big-screen debut. The remake of the dazzling musical has seven nominations, but the modern-day (and finally authentic!) Maria isn’t invited to the ceremony?? Some fans believe leaving Rachel out is no coincidence, given the Academy’s long history of snubbing actors of color. And now the internet’s lit up over the controversy. Steven Spielberg: Get your star a seat!
