For many involved in the Oscars, the fires have been felt acutely. O'Brien's Pacific Palisades home survived but his family has been unable to go back to it. O'Brien's assistant and podcast co-host Sona Movsesian lost her home.

Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy and Da'Vine Joy Randolph have been announced as the first group of presenters for the 2025 Oscars, as per The Hollywood Reporter. All four presenters announced went home with an Academy Award at the previous year's ceremony.

Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson are among a new wave of Oscar presenters announced for the ceremony on March 2.
