The Academy has also announced that this year’s ceremony will face scheduling changes due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles and California.
“Due to the still-active fires in the Los Angeles area, we feel it is necessary to extend our voting period and move the date of our nominations announcement to allow additional time for our members. Additionally, as we want to be sensitive to the infrastructure and lodging needs of the region in these next few weeks, it is imperative that we make some changes to our schedule of events, which we believe will have the support of our industry,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said.
The Oscars Nominees Luncheon, typically held in February, has been canceled for this year, and the Scientific and Technical Awards, initially set for February 18, will be rescheduled. Despite these changes, the Oscars ceremony remains scheduled for Sunday, March 2 at the Dolby Theatre.
Earlier, Kazinform correspondent reported on the key wins from 82nd Golden Globes.
