Stephen King is not interested in submitting a ballot for this year’s Academy Awards and called for the whole event to be canceled amidst the ongoing devastation of the Los Angeles wildfires. On Blue Sky, King wrote, “Not voting in the Oscars this year. IMHO they should cancel them. No glitz with Los Angeles on fire.”

Stephen King is not only declining to vote for this years Academy Awards nominees, but he doesn’t believe that the ceremony should happen. On Thursday, the renowned horror writer posted about it on the social media site Bluesky.
