Oscar nominations announcement postponed again due to fires

The names of the lucky winners of one of the most prestigious cinema awards ceremonies were initially scheduled to be announced on January 17. But, due to the unprecedented scale of forest fires hitting Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided last week to postpone the announcement by two days, to January 19.

According to the LA Times, this date has been pushed back again and is now set for Thursday, January 23. Academy members therefore have a little more time to vote, until Friday.
