Oscars 2025 nominations officially delayed after impact of LA fires

As reported by Variety, Academy CEO Bill Kramer outlined the changes to the Academy's 10,000-strong membership in an email sent on Wednesday 8th January, the day voting began.

"We want to offer our deepest condolences to those who have been impacted by the devastating fires across Southern California," the email read.

"So many of our members and industry colleagues live and work in the Los Angeles area, and we are thinking of you."

The fires have already led to the cancellation and postponement of a number of high-profile film industry events this week, with LA premieres for Unstoppable, Wolf Man and Better Man among those to be called off.

Meanwhile, the Critics Choice Awards will now take place on Sunday 26th January, two weeks later than initially planned.
