The Palisades fire continues to change the Hollywood awards schedules.
Oscar voting has been extended to January 14th, two days later than originally announced. The nominees will be revealed for the first time in decades on a Sunday, January 19th.
Another change: the Critics Choice Awards will take place on January 26th, on the E! channel. The awards were supposed to be broadcast this Sunday, but that couldn’t happen. The show will hosted by Chelsea Handler. Originally the Critics Choice would have been an influence on Oscar nominations. Now, it will bear more influence on final round voting.
All of Hollywood is at a standstill now on a professional basis. The personal is all that’s important now as people try to regain their footing after losing their homes.
