The Producers Guild Awards nominations have been postponed from Jan. 10 to Jan. 12 due to the ongoing Southern California wildfires.
The organization said in a statement Thursday morning, “Due to LA County wildfires, the Producers Guild of America will be extending the voting window for the PGA Awards by two days until Saturday, January 11 to allow members additional time to cast their ballots. The official PGA Awards nominations will now be announced on Sunday, January 12.”
This decision follows the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ extension of its Oscar nomination voting period by two days. The Oscars also shifted the announcement of the 97th nominations from Jan. 17 to Jan. 19.
As previously announced, the WGA Awards also postponed announcing their nominations until Jan. 13.

The wildfires have caused significant disruptions across Hollywood. Premieres for Amazon MGM’s “Unstoppable” and Universal’s “Wolf Man” were called off. Wednesday morning’s Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, which were set to be announced by Joey King and Cooper Koch, were also canceled, with a press release instead provided to the media.
Additionally, other major industry events have been postponed. The AFI Awards luncheon, initially set for Jan. 10, and the BAFTA Tea Party, scheduled for Jan. 11, have been delayed. The Critics Choice Awards, planned for Jan. 12 in Santa Monica, has been rescheduled for Jan. 26.
The wildfires have ravaged communities across Southern California and continue to affect the entertainment industry. While the rescheduling ensures the safety of all involved, it underscores the broader impact of this natural disaster on the Los Angeles area.
