Historic Santa Ana winds have brought severe fire risk to the region
Joining a growing list of Hollywood organizations and companies, SAG-AFTRA has canceled the live nominations announcement event for the 2025 SAG Awards due to the multiple fires afflicting greater Los Angeles.
"In an abundance of caution for the safety of our presenters, guests, and staff, the live in-person 31st Annual SAG Awards nominations announcement has been cancelled due to the wildfires and adverse wind conditions in Los Angeles. Nominees will be unveiled tomorrow at 7:30am PT via press release and the SAG Awards website. We look forward to celebrating these incredible actors and their work at the SAG Awards ceremony on February 23. In the meantime, we urge everyone to stay safe, and thank you for your continued support," the guild said in a statement Tuesday.
Other Hollywood events shut down by the fires include an FYC event in West Hollywood for Jason Reitman's "Saturday Night" film, canceled premieres for Universal and Amazon MGM Studios' "Wolf Man" at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and "Unstoppable" at the DGA Theater, and for Paramount's "Better Man."
The fires were sparked by the worst Santa Ana winds in more than a decade, first the devastating Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades that began late Tuesday morning, and then the Eaton Fire in Altadena that ignited early Tuesday evening.
