The Grammys and Oscars will continue as planned, focusing on support for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles: The 2025 Grammys are set to go on as planned, even with the wildfires causing chaos in the area. The ceremony will take place at the Crypto.com Arena on February 2.
Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Recording Academy, and Tammy Hurt, the Board Chair, shared that the show will have a renewed purpose. They’re working closely with local authorities to ensure safety and responsible resource use.
They also mentioned that the Grammys aim to raise funds for wildfire relief and honor the brave first responders who are risking their lives. It’s a tough time, but music can really bring people together.
In addition, the Oscars are still on for March 2, although the nominations have been delayed. The Academy is committed to supporting the film industry during these challenging times.
While the annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon on February 10 has been canceled, the ceremony will still kick off at the Dolby Theatre. Wildfires have forced over 100,000 people to evacuate, and sadly, 24 lives have been lost.
Many celebrities, including Milo Ventimiglia and Paris Hilton, have lost their homes. The Santa Ana winds are making things worse, but the community is coming together to support one another.
