Hollywood is on fire.
I’m hearing that the Critics Choice Awards, set for Sunday, will not take place.
Ditto the annual AFI luncheon for Friday and BAFTA Tea for Saturday.
Many TV series have suspended filming. Jimmy Kimmel is on hiatus because of the fires.
As more than 30,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, Pacific Palisades, parts of Santa Monica and close areas are all on fire. Hundreds of homes, schools, and institutions have been lost.
Because of this, the Screen Actors Guild has announced their nominations announcement this morning via press release. All movie premieres last night and tonight have been cancelled.
The fire is so vast that it’s laying claim to homes owned by a big part of the Hollywood community, all of whom would be involved in this weekend’s proceedings.
