LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The Governors Awards gala, at which honorary Oscars are handed out for lifetime achievement, has been pushed back from November to January, organizers said Wednesday, as Hollywood reels from the ongoing actors' and writers' strikes.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organizes the Oscars, had initially planned the ceremony for Nov. 18, with US comic Mel Brooks and actress Angela Bassett to be honored.
The Emmy Awards, television's equivalent of the Oscars, were postponed by nearly four months to January, and several high-profile films including"Dune: Part Two" have seen their release dates delayed. The strikes have halted production on many studio films and television series, and also have kept most actors from hitting the red carpet at film festivals and other events.
Bassett, 65, has been nominated twice for Oscars -- she earned a nod for portraying Tina Turner in"What's Love Got to Do with It," and earlier this year became the first actor ever nominated for a Marvel superhero film, with"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
