Adam Shankman(Oscar coproducer) talks about Rob's absence from the Oscars

Just because Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are presenting at Sunday's Oscars without Robert Pattinson that does not mean the world's most famous sparkly bloodsucker wasn't invited, too.

"I think the Pattinson community is going insane," Oscars coproducer Adam Shankman told us last night at Vanity Fair's FEED Foundation and Hungry in America Project event. "All I want to say is, 'He's not available!' "

Yes, Pattinson is currently in New York City to promote his new romantic drama Remember Me, but...

Rob has to jet right back to Europe to continue shooting Bel Ami.

"It's not like we snubbed him," Shankman assured us. "It's not like we said no to him. We asked him to be in the show. We tried really really hard to get him there. We were working on getting Summit to fly him in for the day, but eventually it became too much."
