Celebrities Speak Out As Devastating Wildfires Spread Through Southern California
The SAG Awards are putting safety first.
Amid the ongoing wildfires and devastating winds in Pacific Palisades, Calif., the Screen Actors Guild Awards have opted to cancel their live nominations announcement, set to be hosted by A Family Affair’s Joey King and Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story’s Cooper Koch.
“In an abundance of caution for the safety of our presenters, guests, and staff, the life in-person 31st Annual SAG Awards nominations has been cancelled due to the wildfires and adverse wind conditions in Los Angeles,” the statement, shared to X Jan. 8, read. “We look forward to celebrating these incredible actors and their work at the SAG Awards ceremony on February 23.”
The statement concluded, “We urge everyone to stay safe.”
Instead of the live nominations, the upcoming SAG nominees will be issued at 7:30 a.m. PT on Jan. 8 via a press release.
Each year, the SAG Awards honor the best performances in both television and film—voted for and by the actors. Last year, Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone, The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. nabbed the night’s highest honors for movies.
