LOS ANGELES — As Los Angeles recovers from devastating wildfires, Hollywood is grappling with whether to move forward with its star-studded awards season.

Some, like actor Jean Smart, have called for events to be canceled, suggesting revenue be redirected to victims.

However, many industry workers argue that the events provide crucial employment for thousands behind the scenes.

The Grammys, set for this weekend, have opted to continue while incorporating fundraising effort — a model that may shape the rest of the season. Industry experts predict that while celebrations will continue, they'll likely strike a more thoughtful tone, balancing recognition with support for the community.
