Rachel Zegler played the main character of Maria, who found herself in a star-crossed love story with Tony, played by Ansel Elgort. West Side Story is nominated for seven awards at the 2022 Academy Awards this year, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Sound. But it looks like Zegler won't be there this year — and not because she doesn't want to attend.
