The Oscars 2025, one of the most famous award ceremonies, may be cancelled for the first time. According to reports from The Sun, this cancellation could occur due to the severe wildfires in Los Angeles. The Academy, which organizes the awards and includes well-known stars such as Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, and Steven Spielberg, is closely monitoring the situation in LA before making a final decision.
As reported by sources, “The board’s main concern at this time is to not appear as if they are celebrating while many Angelenos are dealing with heartbreak and unimaginable loss. Even if the fires were to subside in the next week, the reality is that the city is still hurting and will continue to deal with that pain for months. Therefore, the hierarchy has decided that the focus will shift toward support and fundraising when the right opportunities present themselves,” The ceremony is currently scheduled for March 2.
