So it was more than a little surprising when Rachel recently revealed in the comments of an Instagram post that she's not invited to this year's Oscars — even though West Side Story is nominated for seven awards.

Rachel also thanked fans for their "shock and outrage" and noted that she's "disappointed, too," but she's still "proud" of the film in general.
