The recent devastating wildfires in Southern California have caused significant disruptions in Hollywood, forcing multiple productions to halt and leading to the postponement of critical events in the awards season. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that the nominations for the Oscars will be delayed yet again, with the announcement pushed back to January 23, coinciding with the start of the Sundance Film Festival. In addition, the nominees luncheon has been canceled, and the voting period has been extended due to the ongoing crisis. Other awards, including the Critics Choice and Producers Guild Awards, have also seen their schedules affected, reflecting the broader challenges faced by the entertainment industry as it grapples with the impact of the fires.
