The ongoing devastation has impacted this year’s awards season, raising questions over the Oscars and Grammys

The California wildfires have to date killed at least 25 people, destroyed or damaged more than 12,000 structures and put about 300,000 people on evacuation orders. It has also had a major impact on business, most notably that of Hollywood.

Rumours have circulated online that the Oscars, set to take place on 2 March, could be postponed, but the Hollywood Reporter called these “baseless” with no changes to the date planned. “We will get through this together and bring a sense of healing to our global film community,” organisers said.
