Hollywood is continuing to feel the devastating impact of the wildfires that are raging on throughout Los Angeles, and as first responders fight to contain the fires and citizens flee evacuation zones, Friday’s AFI Awards luncheon has been postponed while the BAFTA Tea Party has been canceled altogether.
“Given the tragedies that prevail in Los Angeles, the spirit of community we strive for at AFI Awards will be unachievable on Friday – and so we will be postponing the event,” a representative for AFI said in a statement.
“In light of the dangerous winds and wildfires in Los Angeles, we are cancelling this weekend’s BAFTA Tea Party,” BAFTA said in a statement.
