The 2022 A-list Oscars lineup keeps getting better and better as more stars have been added. 

The producers of the show Will Packer and Shayla Crown on Wednesday announced the final slate of presenters, also confirming West Side Story star Rachel Zegler’s attendance as well as Jason Momoa, Serena and Venus Williams.

The 20-year-old actress was added to the lineup a few days after she wrote on Instagram that she wasn’t invited to the 94th Annual Academy Awards despite her lead role in the remake of the iconic movie musical, which received seven or a total of seven awards.

The Oscars lists of presenters also include Josh Brolin, Jacob Elordi, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Momoa, Jill Scott, J.K. Simmons, Serena Williams and Venus Williams. These A-listers join the stacked-up line of Hollywood’s elite, including Halle Berry, Jamie Lee Curtis, Zoë Kravitz, Elliot Page, Shaun White, Lupita Nyong’o, Yuh-Jung Youn, Rami Malek, Tyler Perry and more.

Zegler, who plays María Vasquez in West Side Story, went viral after claiming not to have received an invite to the award show. 

A fan had written, “Can’t wait to see what you’ll be wearing on Oscar night,” in the comments section of her most recent Instagram post, Zegler responded directly to them, writing: “I’m not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend’s flannel.”

“[I don’t know] y’all I have tried it all but it doesn’t seem to be happening,” she wrote. “I will root for West Side Story from my couch and be proud of the work we so tirelessly did 3 years ago.”

West Side Story is nominated for a whopping seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Ariana DeBose), Best Director (Steven Spielberg), Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Sound.

In an earlier announcement, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and Finneas, Reba McEntire, and Sebastián Yatra are scheduled to perform four of the five original songs nominated for Oscars this year.

The 2022 Oscars will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will air live on ABC and broadcast outlets worldwide on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT.
