The Critics Choice Awards are postponed by two weeks due to the wildfires tearing through California.

This year's Critics Choice Awards have been postponed by two weeks due to the devastating wildfires still tearing through California.

At least five people have died, around 180,000 people have been evacuated and thousands of homes have been destroyed in the fires in the Pacific Palisades area.

Hollywood has been particularly affected, with many top stars also being forced to flee and losing their homes in the blaze, leaving the industry in standstill.

The CCAs, which honour the best film and TV of last year, had been due to take place this Sunday but will now be held on January 26.

CCA CEO Joey Berlin said in a statement: "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."

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles premieres for Wolf Man, Unstoppable, Better Man, The Pitt, On Call and The Last Showgirl have all been cancelled, while the announcement of this year's Oscars nominees has been postponed from January 17 to January 19.
