The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has postponed the announcement of nominees for the 97th Academy Awards to January 23rd due to the ongoing devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The fires have caused widespread disruption to Hollywood's awards calendar, leading to postponements and cancellations of several key events.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has once again delayed the announcement of nominees for the 97th Academy Awards due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, which have caused widespread devastation and claimed 25 lives. Originally set for Jan. 17 and previously pushed back to Jan. 19, the nominations will now be unveiled on Jan. 23. The fires have already upended much of Hollywood’s awards calendar, at least in the short term.
In a statement, Academy chief executive Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang emphasized solidarity with the film community, which was already struggling to regain its footing following 2023's labor strikes: “We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many. The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship.
