For the first time in nearly a century, the Oscars face potential cancellation as devastating wildfires wreak havoc in Los Angeles, displacing thousands and scorching over 20,000 acres. The Academy has already delayed nominations, scrapped lavish traditions like £140,000 goody bags, and canceled the nominees luncheon to show solidarity with affected communities. While the March ceremony is still scheduled, insiders hint that hosting a celebratory event amidst widespread loss may be deemed inappropriate. Amid the tragedy, stars like Sir Anthony Hopkins have faced personal losses, while controversial comments from Mel Gibson added fuel to the ongoing discourse about the fires’ origins. The industry watches with bated breath as the situation unfolds.
