According to recent reports from a leading Hollywood portal, the Academy Awards board, led by Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg and more is closely keeping a check on the situation in LA to figure out a solution.
The reports claim, “The board’s main concern at this time is to not appear as if they are celebrating while many Angelenos are dealing with heartbreak and unimaginable loss. Even if the fires were to subside in the next week, the reality is that the city is still hurting and will continue to deal with that pain for months. Therefore, the hierarchy has decided that the focus will shift toward support and fundraising when the right opportunities present themselves.”
As the cancellation hasn’t been confirmed yet, the ceremony is taking place on March 2, 2025 as of now. It was originally scheduled for January 17, 2025.
Other events, including the British Academy of Film and TV Arts Tea Party, the AFI Awards luncheon and the Critics Choice Awards, have also been postponed.
