For the second year in a row, the Academy has snubbed Zelensky, who was hoping to follow up his Berlin Film Festival (remote) appearance last month with a virtual spot on Sunday’s Oscar telecast on ABC.

Sources say WME power agent Mike Simpson made a plea to the Academy to include the comedic actor-turned-politician but was shut down.
