The Oscars have made changes to their schedule, lengthening the voting period for nominations and adjusting important dates due to the continuing wildfires in Los Angeles.
The deadline for voting has been extended from January 14 to January 17 (up until 5 p.m. Pacific Time). The nominees for the 97th Academy Awards will be revealed on January 23 at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time during an online event, without any in-person media coverage present. As previously planned, the 97th Academy Awards ceremony will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
The Academy has decided to call off the yearly Oscar Nominees Luncheon, originally planned for February 10th. Furthermore, the Scientific and Technical Awards, initially slated for February 18th, have been pushed back to a future date that’s yet to be decided.
Bill Kramer, CEO, and Janet Yang, Academy President, have expressed deep sadness over the destruction caused by the fires in our community. They emphasized that the Academy has a history of bringing people together within the film industry, and they are determined to do so during these difficult times. Given the ongoing fires in the Los Angeles region, they believe it’s important to extend the voting period and postpone the announcement of nominations to provide more time for our members.
Moreover, the Academy chipped in a generous sum of $750,000 to the Motion Picture and Television Fund. The devastating fires, causing chaos at various Los Angeles-based film premieres and functions, have necessitated several modifications within various organizations.
Kramer and Yang further emphasized: “Considering the immediate needs for infrastructure and accommodations in the region over the coming weeks, it’s crucial that we adjust our event schedule. This adjustment, we believe, will gain industry approval as it offers a platform to commend our resilient and compassionate community. We are eager to use this occasion to honor our frontline workers who have battled the fires, acknowledge those affected, and inspire people to join us in supporting relief efforts through the Academy. Together, we shall overcome these challenges and foster healing within our global film industry.
A variety of highly praised movies and acting performances are in the running for this year’s awards, featuring films such as Sean Baker’s dramedy “Anora” starring Mikey Madison, Jon M. Chu’s musical blockbuster “Wicked” with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and Edward Berger’s religious thriller “Conclave” starring Ralph Fiennes. All are anticipated to be included among the nominees.
