When the Palisades Fire broke out in Los Angeles last Tuesday, Hollywood’s awards season was in full swing. The Golden Globes had transpired less than 48 hours earlier and a series of splashy awards banquets followed in the days after.

Los Angeles is grappling with one of its most catastrophic wildfire, with flames consuming homes, displacing thousands, and claiming lives. The city’s turmoil has now cast a shadow over the Oscars, with reports suggesting the iconic ceremony could be canceled for the first time in its 96-year history.

As Los Angeles wildfires spread resembling a Hollywood disaster movie, the city’s vast entertainment industry is already counting the costs of yet another drastic setback that its workers can ill afford.

The L.A. Wildfires have delayed many events in Hollywood from production on shows like 'Hacks' to The Critics Choice Awards this weekend.

Because of costs, few movies are shot locally, leaving the industry in a surreal spot: reeling from personal loss with much of the business untouched.
