The fire in Los Angeles has affected the lives of many people in the US state of California. Even the Oscar 2025 nominations have been postponed once again. This step has been taken due to the deep impact it has had on Hollywood. This time it has been extended by about a week from the original date of nomination. According to the report of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the nominations will now be announced on January 23. The names of all the nominated stars will also be revealed only then.

“We are all devastated by the impact of the fire and the deep loss experienced by so many in our community,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said in a joint statement. The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry and we are committed to standing together in the face of difficulties.’ With fires still burning in the Los Angeles area, the Film Academy has extended the nomination voting period for its members until Friday. Originally the nominations were to be announced that morning.
Oscar will be held on this day
The organization that organizes the Oscars has also decided to cancel its annual nominations members’ luncheon. This program happens every year. This time its date has not been decided yet. The Scientific and Technical Awards, which were earlier scheduled for February 18, will also be rescheduled. The 97th Oscars will take place at the Dolby Theater on March 2, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and live streamed on Hulu.
The date has been postponed many times before also
Earlier, the Oscar nominations were postponed in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ceremony was also delayed, which has happened many times before. The ceremony was postponed for a week due to the devastating flood that hit Los Angeles in 1938. After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, it was postponed for two days. In 1981, it was postponed by 24 hours after President Ronald Reagan was shot in Washington, DC. The 1981 decision was taken four hours before the start of the broadcast.
