The U.K. tabloid The Sun posted a story to its website on Tuesday evening suggesting that the Academy is consulting a committee of A-listers about whether to proceed with the ceremony on March 2.

Will the show go on? A report in the U.K. tabloid The Sun insisting the Academy Awards were “on the verge of being canceled” due to fallout from the deadly Los Angeles wildfires began to gain traction online Tuesday afternoon.

A key annual awards season networking stop, the Bafta Tea Party, hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, has been cancelled. A spokesperson told the PA news agency: ‘In light of the dangerous winds and wildfires in Los Angeles, we are cancelling this weekend’s Bafta Tea Party.

Several major events of Hollywood's awards season have been disrupted amid the Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles. Others have also been affected.

There is no official word if the 97th annual Academy Awards will be canceled. As of Jan. 14, 2025, the show is slated to air on its original date. Though the Oscars ceremony is set to go on as planned, the annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon—scheduled for Feb. 10—was canceled.
