The Academy on Monday said it will delay announcing the list of nominees for the this Academy Awards, or Oscars, because of the wildfires that continue to spread in Los Angeles.

“We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many in our community. The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said in a joint statement. “Due to the still-active fires in the Los Angeles area, we feel it is necessary to extend our voting period and move the date of our nominations announcement to allow additional time for our members.”

The Academy is extending the voting period for Oscars nominations through Friday, January 17, at 5 p.m. Pacific time. It will announce Oscars nominations virtually on Thursday, January 23, at 5:30 a.m. Pacific.
