If you thought being an Oscars nominee is enough to get you to attend the Academy Awards, then you are in for a disappointment, just like&nbsp;Rosie Perez. The actress hasn't made an appearance at the Oscars ceremony since she was nominated for an award almost three decades ago.

In an interview with Variety, the 56-year-old 'Do the Right Thing'&nbsp;star said that she's hurt the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has yet to invite her back to the event since she attended in 1994 as a Best Supporting Actress nominee for 1993's Fearless.&nbsp;

"Not even to sit in the audience, not to present, nothing—and I'm a member," Rosie said. "I love the Academy Awards. I cheer on my peers, but it hurts. It's like when your home team doesn't ask you to come back into the stadium after you got up to bat and hit the home run."

The actress, who is of Puerto Rican descent, explained that it has been tough to deal with prejudice and racism as a woman of colour in the industry.

"The biggest struggle has been navigating through other people's shortcomings," Perez says. "Other people's bigotry, racism—and specifically the ones that don't understand that they are bigots or racists."

Rosie&nbsp;maintained a long and successful career since her breakout role in Spike Lee's 1989 drama Do the Right Thing, which was nominated for two Oscars.

Since then, her notable films include White Men Can't Jump (1992), Untamed Heart (1993), It Could Happen to You (1994), Pineapple Express (2008) and Birds of Prey (2020).

Last Friday, Indian fans got to watch two of the Oscar-nominated film - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-parasite-review-bong-joon-hos-film-on-class-divide-is-a-masterclass-in-storytelling-277783">'Parasite'</a> and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-jojo-rabbit-review-taika-waititis-satire-on-fascism-is-all-heart-277692">'Jojo Rabbit' </a>in theatres.&nbsp; 
 
This Friday, 'Little Women' releases in India along with two other Hollywood films. Here, take a look.&nbsp;

Little Women 
 
Greta Gerwig may not have earned a spot in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-oscars-news-oscars-2020-heres-the-full-list-of-nominees-274061">Best Director category of Oscars 2020 </a>but her film based on author &nbsp;Louisa May Alcott's classic novel by the same name has earnbed rave reveiwes in America last year when it commercial released there. Featuring an eclectic cast comprising of actresses like Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton and Meryl Streep- the story is based on the lives of four sisters growing up during the Americal Civil War.

Birds Of Prey 
 
Margot Robbie had made heads turn with her cat as Harley Quinn in the otherwise forgettable 'Suicide Squad'. So it seemed only fair to have a stand-alone film exploring Quin's life and how she became the way she is.&nbsp; 
 
In 'Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Robbie plays Harley Quin once again, but this time she has the company of Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya who together fight Gotham City's biggest villain Roman Sionis. The film has been directed by Cathy Yan.

The Wedding Year 
 
27-year old Los Angeles photographer Mara Hickey is sure that she is not the one who would ever settle down even though her relationship with new boyfriend is going great and he is okay about settling down. Their relationship is put to test when the couple are invited to 15 weddings in the same year. Would Mara succumb to pressure and get married too? The film stars 'Full House' actress &nbsp;Sarah Hyland and Tyler James Williams in the lead.&nbsp;
