Will the show go on? A report in the U.K. tabloid The Sun insisting the Academy Awards were “on the verge of being canceled” due to fallout from the deadly Los Angeles wildfires began to gain traction online Tuesday afternoon.

Several reports claimed Oscars 2025 is on the brink of being cancelled due to the Los Angeles wildfires. However, there is no such credibility to the reports and for now, the ceremony is expected to take place on March 2.
