“West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler is getting her Oscars moment after all. The 20-year-old actor has been invited to be a presenter at the ceremony.

The gesture came two days after Zegler, who plays Maria, posted on social media that she had not been invited to the awards and would be rooting for “West Side Story” from her couch.

The Steven Spielberg film is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture, director and supporting actress for Ariana DeBose, who is expected to win.

On Wednesday evening, Zegler was confirmed to be presenting at the ceremony, and on Twitter she shared how “thrilled” she was at the opportunity.
