Jean Smart urges TV networks to forgo airing Hollywood award shows and instead donate the funds to fire relief efforts.

Jean Smart urged television networks hosting live award shows to forgo televising the celebrations and instead contribute funds to aid the Los Angeles community affected by deadly wildfires.

The Golden Globes winner, Smart, made her plea on Instagram days before the fires broke out.

On Jan. 8, the 73-year-old actress urged Hollywood networks to consider not televising the upcoming awards and instead donate the revenue to fire victims and firefighters during the awards season.

Planet Chronicle Digital reached out to Smart for additional comment.

The Critics Choice Awards, originally scheduled for January 12th, have been postponed until January 26th due to the wildfires in Los Angeles County.

"CCA CEO Joey Berlin stated in a Planet Chronicle Digital shared statement that the ongoing tragedy has greatly impacted the community. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those fighting the devastating fires and those affected," Berlin said."

"The rescheduled event will still take place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and will be broadcast live on E! and worldwide. Additionally, it will be accessible on Peacock the following day."

The Academy Awards and SAG Awards have postponed their award show announcements.

The Academy Awards nominations will now be revealed on January 19 instead of January 17.

Multiple TV shows, including "The Price is Right," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," and "After Midnight," have experienced postponements due to production halts. Additionally, Universal Studios has canceled shooting for several series, including "Hacks," "Ted Lasso," and "Suits LA."

The Palisades fire, which has burned over 17,000 acres, affected movie premieres, leading to the cancellation of Jennifer Lopez' "Unstoppable" and Blumhouse’s "Wolf Man" on Tuesday evening.

Wildfires in the Los Angeles area resulted in the deaths of at least five people and the burning of thousands of structures, officials announced. The flames rapidly spread through homes and businesses, forcing residents to flee from smoke-filled canyons and picturesque neighborhoods that are popular among celebrities.

The Santa Ana winds, which reached speeds of over 70 mph (112 kph) on Tuesday, were a major factor in the outbreak of many towering fires. Although the winds decreased on Thursday, the National Weather Service cautioned that even the reduced gusts could still cause fires to spread quickly.

Over 130,000 people are under evacuation orders in the metropolitan area, with the number of destroyed structures continuing to rise as new fires emerge.
