Oscars 2025: Rumors are spreading that the 2025 Academy Awards will be canceled due to the fire in Los Angeles. This award function was to be held on March 2. In fact, a report in the tabloid The Sun states that plans are being made to cancel the 97th Academy Awards due to the fire. However, now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has rejected all these claims. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that these claims are completely false.
Will Oscars 2025 be cancelled?
According to the report, a senior source at the Academy has clarified that there is no plan to cancel the Oscars 2025 and no such advisory committee exists, which reportedly includes celebrities like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. All decisions related to the Oscars are taken by the Board of Governors of only 55 people. Some adjustments may be made due to the wildfires, such as extending the nomination voting period and postponing the Oscar nominees luncheon. The board has confirmed that the awards ceremony will proceed as planned.
However, the academy has acknowledged the impact of the forest fire, which has claimed 25 lives and destroyed several houses. These also include the homes of celebrities like Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton. Academy leadership is now exploring ways to incorporate fire relief efforts into the ceremony to support the affected community.
Academy stands firm on its commitment to continue Oscars 2025
It is noteworthy that even during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Oscar ceremony was never canceled and Academy insiders are firm on their commitment to continue the event. By the way, let us tell you that due to the fire in Los Angeles, the nomination list for Oscar 2025 has already been changed twice.
