The Oscars 2025 nominations saw multiple shifts in scheduling due to LA wildfires that erupted two weeks ago. The announcement of the 97th Oscar nominations was initially scheduled for January 17, however, the damages caused by the wildfires affected many Oscar voters, leading to the postponement.
As the wildfires continued to rage, the dates were rescheduled from January 17 to January 23, with the cancellation of the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. The Oscars 2025 will be hosted by Conan O'Brien on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre as scheduled.
