American writer and cult horror author Stephen King spoke out against holding the current Oscar ceremony.. On his page on the Bluesky social network, King said that he would not vote for nominees and believes that a glamorous show is inappropriate against the backdrop of the fires that have engulfed Los Angeles.. " I think they should cancel it. No glamor while Los Angeles is on fire," The message caused a wave of reactions on social networks. Some users supported the writer’s position, but others emphasized that even in tragic times people need joy and inspiration. Stephen King responded to the criticism by comparing the ceremony to an old legend: " It all makes a certain amount of sense, but to me it's like Nero playing the lyre while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while Los Angeles burns.

" At the moment, Oscar organizers have not yet announced the possible cancellation of the ceremony.. However, discussions about the feasibility of its implementation in the context of large-scale natural disasters continue. Earlier it was reported that Stephen King announced that he was leaving the social network X (formerly Twitter), citing its “toxic atmosphere.”.
