Wildfires in Los Angeles are causing delays in Hollywood’s awards season schedule, affecting major events and nominations.
So, here’s the scoop on the major awards shows coming up. The Oscars, Grammys, and others are all adjusting their timelines. The Writers Guild was supposed to announce nominations on January 8, but that got pushed back to January 13 and then postponed indefinitely. The Producers Guild also had to delay their nominations, which were originally set for January 10.
The Oscars have faced delays too. They were meant to announce nominations on January 17, then moved to January 19, and now they’re set for January 23. This is to give Academy members more time to vote since many have been impacted by the fires.
The Critics Choice Awards are now happening on January 26, pushed back from January 12. They’ll be live from Santa Monica, close to where the fires have been active.
The Grammys are still on track for February 2, as they announced nominations back in November. However, some related events have been canceled to focus on wildfire recovery.
The Producers and Directors Guild awards are scheduled for February 8, while the Writers Guild awards will take place on February 15. The BAFTAs are set for February 16, and they’re still sticking to their original timeline.
The Spirit Awards will happen on February 22, and the SAG Awards are on February 23. They announced nominees via press release instead of live due to the fires.
Finally, the Academy Awards are still on for March 2 at the Dolby Theatre, although some events have been canceled or postponed. It’s a lot to keep track of, but everyone’s doing their best to adapt to the situation.
