Jean Smart, the Hacks star, took to Instagram expressing a wish that networks consider not airing awards ceremonies during the ongoing L.A. fires, proposing to redirect revenue to victims.
As A-listers typically celebrate during awards season, the Critics Choice Awards were pushed back and Oscar nomination announcements delayed in light of the continuing fires.
Historically, the Oscars have faced postponements due to significant events such as natural disasters and tragic incidents, with the earliest being the 1938 flooding in Los Angeles.
The ongoing fires prompt a broader reflection in Hollywood about the appropriateness of celebrations during crises, urging the industry to engage in more meaningful contributions to affected communities.
