Awards shows, movie premieres and screenings for Oscar hopeful films have also seen delays due to the fires, even the Oscars nominations announcement itself has been pushed back and won’t take place until January 19th.
The Los Angeles fires began this past Tuesday in the Pacific Palisades area and have left at least 16 people dead and over 12,000 structures burned. In all, roughly 62 square miles of the city have burned so far with numerous stars having lost their homes.
Strong winds fueled the spread of the fires, calmer winds in recent days allowing firefighters to make progress. Unfortunately strong winds have are returning so the crisis is not over by a long shot.
