This year, Cosmo notes, Zendaya had other things on her schedule: namely, a fun outing with boyfriend Tom Holland in London. Fans spotted the pair out in the city, shopping with Tom Holland's mom Nikki Holland at Richmond Park.
The reason is pretty understandable—and not at all related to any social media drama. Selena has been filming her hit show Only Murders in the Building's third season in New York City. The Oscars and all its after parties took place in Los Angeles.
But that doesn't mean that everyone wants to go, or even be in the running to win one.
