By Elizabeth Wagmeister, CNN (CNN) — The devastating wildfires that continue to ravage the celebrity-filled enclave of Pacific Palisades and other areas have forced a production shutdown across Los Angeles, as well as the cancellation of a number of key award season events that were set to take place this week. The Critics Choice Awards, originally set to be held this Sunday in Santa Monica, have been postponed to January 26, CNN has learned. “This unfolding tragedy has already had a profound impact on our community. All our thoughts and prayers are with those battling the devastating fires and with all who have been affected,” said Critics Choice Awards CEO Joey Berlin in a statement. The Critics Choice Awards was set to be the second major televised Hollywood award show for the 2025 season, following last weekend’s Golden Globes. The award show was set to be held at The Barker Hanger, a venue in Santa Monica, not far from the Pacific Palisades where fire has destroyed at least 1,000 structures and burned more than 5,000 acres. Evacuation orders have also reached residents in Santa Monica where the award show was set to be held. Amid the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, a number of glitzy Hollywood events and red-carpet premieres have also been cancelled.

It’s likely that early next month, the Barbados Volleyball Association may be able to resume its 2024 Division One League competition. Due to the unavailbility of the Wildey Gymnasium, as it hosted various other events, the league had to be postponed in late November after just three days of games were completed, leaving the association without a venue to play their top-tier inter-club competition. Speaking to CBC Sports, 2nd Vice President of the BVA Roxanne Forte, said dates for early February through to April have been provisionally indicated as available to use to gym, but the gym’s unavailability is an issue they have been plagued with over the past few years.
