In a heartfelt message to its members on Wednesday, Academy CEO Bill Kramer expressed solidarity with those affected by the devastating wildfires sweeping across Southern California. “We want to offer our deepest condolences to those who have been impacted by the devastating fires across Southern California,” Kramer wrote. “So many of our members and industry colleagues live and work in the Los Angeles area, and we are thinking of you.”
The fires have not only disrupted daily life for residents but have also sent shockwaves through Hollywood’s bustling film and television industry. Major events, including movie premieres and awards ceremonies, have been forced to cancel or reschedule. Among the affected productions are Unstoppable, Wolf Man, Robbie Williams’ Better Man, and The pitt.
Even the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards faced setbacks.The event to announce this year’s nominees was canceled, with the contenders instead revealed via a press release. Leading the pack with multiple nominations is the highly anticipated film Wicked.
Meanwhile, the awards season is heating up, with the Golden Globes setting the stage for what’s to come. Demi Moore, who starred in the Substance, bolstered her Oscar prospects by taking home a golden Globe last weekend. The Globes, often seen as a bellwether for the Oscars, also celebrated other standout films like Emilia Pérez, the Brutalist, and Wicked.
Looking ahead, the 2025 Oscars ceremony promises to be a star-studded affair. Late-night legend Conan O’Brien has been tapped to host the event, which will take place on March 2 at the iconic Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. As the industry navigates these challenging times, the resilience of its members and the anticipation for upcoming celebrations offer a glimmer of hope.
