Oscars host Conan O'Brien, still displaced by wildfires, says the show is being planned sensitively Oscars host Conan O'Brien says he's still unable to live in his home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and that the show's organizers “want to be sensitive to what's happened” to residents.
Some have questioned whether the Oscars should be canceled but its organizers say they will transform the show in a way that "unites us as a global film community and acknowledge those who fought so bravely against the wildfires.”.
O'Brien was tapped last year to host the 97th Academy Awards, which will be held March 2 in Los Angeles.
So we want to make sure that that show reflects what’s happening and that we put a light on the right people in the right way.”.
The fires twice postponed the academy's nominations announcement, which was held Thursday; “Emilia Pérez” emerged as the leading nominee.
