The 97th Academy Awards have delayed several key dates and events due to the ongoing fires in the Los Angeles area. The Oscars nominations voting period has been extended until January 17, while the nominees’ luncheon on February 10 has been cancelled.
The Scientific and Technical Awards are also being rescheduled, but a new date has not yet been announced. Despite these changes, the ceremony itself is still set to take place on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Academy officials, including CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang, expressed their devastation over the impact of the fires and pledged to support relief efforts. They will also honor frontline workers who aided with the fires and recognize those affected by the disaster.
