As Los Angeles burns, Hollywood 's awards season turns into a pledge drive.

The enormity of the destruction in Southern California has snuffed out all festiveness in the movie industry’s high season of celebration.

Not for the first time this decade , the Oscars are facing the question of: Should the show go on? And if it does, what do they mean now?.

Work in the film and TV industry hasn’t rebounded following the 2023 strikes, leaving large numbers of crew members unemployed.

Actress Natalie Morales has advocated for studios to turn empty soundstages into temporary classrooms for children whose schools burned down.

It’s a reminder that many in the industry need all the work they can find, including all the jobs that accompany the Oscars .
