The American writer Stephen King, also known as the “King of Horror,” said he would not vote for the nominees for the prestigious Oscar this year. He prefers that the show be canceled because, in his opinion, it is inappropriate to hold it when Los Angeles is suffering from the fire.
“I’m not going to vote for the Oscars this year. I think they should cancel it. No glamor while Los Angeles is on fire,” the writer wrote on his Bluesky page.
This post provoked a strong reaction from social media users. Some believe that despite this tragic event, we should live and have fun. However, Stephen’s position remains unwavering.
It is unknown whether the Oscars will take place this year, as no official statements about the cancellation have been made. It is known that the ceremony is tentatively scheduled for March 2 in Los Angeles at the Dolby Theater.
