Hollywood is going on pause while several wildfires rage throughout Los Angeles, where dangerous high-speed winds whipped through the area on Tuesday.
L.A. premieres for Unstoppable and Wolf Man, as well as an awards season event for Emilia Pérez, were scrapped on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, red carpets for Better Man, The Pitt and On Call were also canceled. Though the winds are expected to cease by Wednesday night, the town has cleared the events calendar for the next few days out of safety and respect for those impacted by the fires raging throughout the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, Altadena and other areas of the city.
Thursday’s premiere of The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson and set for the TCL Chinese Theatre, has been canceled; a special screening of Bleecker Street’s Love Me and A Complete Unknown screening dinner with Coach star Elle Fanning have been postponed. American Cinematheque’s fourth annual Tribute to the Crafts event at the Egyptian Theatre was postponed as well.
Friday’s AFI Awards, a typically starry luncheon honoring the 10 best movies and TV shows of the year, has also been postponed, and Saturday’s BAFTA Tea Party in Beverly Hills was scrapped. And the Critics Choice Awards, set to take place in Santa Monica on Sunday, have been pushed to a later date.
So far, events scheduled for New York have remained on the books, as the National Board of Review held its NYC awards gala on Tuesday and New York premieres for American Primeval, Back in Action and Goosebumps: The Vanishing have not yet been canceled.
