Amid Devastating LA Fires, Oscars Bosses Drop huge Announcement About 2025 Academy Awards Despite Fierce Backlash!”
The 2025 Academy Awards organizers announced a major shift to this year’s show amid backlash for refusing to cancel the event in the wake of the LA fires.
In a letter to its members on Wednesday, the Academy outlined plans to ‘honor’ the city of Los Angeles, which has already lost 28 lives and seen 63 square miles reduced to ash, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
‘We will honor Los Angeles as the city of dreams, showcasing its beauty and resilience, as well as its role as a beacon for filmmakers and creative visionaries for over a century,’ said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang.
‘We will reflect on the recent events while highlighting the strength, creativity, and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry.’
However, it was the additional details of the show that raised eyebrows among fans of the glamorous Hollywood affair.
‘Also, this year the Best Original Song category presentation will move away from live performances and will be focused on the songwriters,’ the letter continued.
