Oscars 2025: Academy dismisses false reports of Oscars cancellation amid LA wildfires

The Hindu  

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has firmly denied claims that the 97th Oscars ceremony, scheduled for March 2, is on the verge of cancellation. Senior Academy sources clarified that there is no plan to cancel the ceremony and that no such advisory committee, reportedly involving celebrities like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, exists. The Academy did, however, acknowledge the impact of the wildfires, which have claimed 25 lives and destroyed numerous homes, including those of celebrities like Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton. Changes to the event’s luxury goody bags, valued at $171,000, are reportedly under consideration, with items like spa treatments and Swiss Alps vacations deemed “in bad taste” amidst the crisis.
