The deadline for Oscar nomination voting has been extended two days due to the Southern California fires.
Voting for the nearly 10,000 Academy members opened Jan. 8 and was originally set to close on Jan. 12. Deadline is now Jan. 14.
The nominations announcement, originally scheduled to be announced on Jan. 17, has moved to Jan. 19. Conan O’Brien will host the 2025 Oscars ceremony, which takes place on March 2.
The Academy sent an email to members Wednesday afternoon detailing the date changes.
The voting extension comes as a slew of Los Angeles-area premieres and events have been canceled or postponed amid the horrific fires.
Amazon MGM Studios and Universal Studios were the first to scrap their planned Tuesday night premieres of “Unstoppable” and “Wolf Man.” Meanwhile, Paramount and Max canceled their Wednesday premieres of “Better Man” and “The Pitt”.
