Hollywood’s biggest night, the Oscars, may face cancellation for the first time in their 96-year history.
According to recent updates from local sources, the Oscars of 2025 face the possibility of being cancelled — an unprecedented event in the film industry.
The ongoing devastating wildfires in Los Angeles are the reason behind this threat, with new warnings about dangerous wind speeds making the situation even more concerning.
As the 97th Academy Awards approaches, it must tackle an unexpected crisis. Top-tier celebrities like Tom Hanks and Emma Stone head official committees that are keeping a close watch on the evolving situation daily.
Behind closed doors, a backup plan is being prepared. According to the US Sun, this plan includes the possibility of canceling the awards set to take place on March 2.
Furthermore, with the community still reeling from the immense destruction, the prospect of hosting the Oscars could potentially appear insensitive.
Government reports from yesterday reveal that the death toll has reached 25, with many individuals still missing.
The board’s primary concern right now is avoiding the perception of celebration during a time when Los Angeles residents are suffering significant losses.
One insider remarked, “It’s a moment of unimaginable loss, shock, and grief. Holding the event does not feel right. It breaks our hearts to see that so many are still in danger of losing their homes as the threat is far from over.”
