In Hollywood, celebrities react to California wildfires

(29 Oct 2019) IN HOLLYWOOD, CELEBRITIES REACT TO CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES WITH PRAYER, ANXIETY, ANGER The more than dozen wildfires blazing across California were on the minds of stars at the motion-picture academy's annual Governors Awards, Sunday (27 OCTOBER 2019). A black-tie gala held by the same group that organizes the Academy Awards, the Governors Awards similarly celebrates filmmakers: with four honorary Oscars for bodies of cinematic work, and occasionally a special award for a filmmaker's longtime humanitarian efforts. While film provided the talking points for the night, almost every attendee seemed relieved to be asked about how the fires had affected them.   "I've had someone that was, basically -- I was on the phone to them and they realized that they couldn't really go back to their house," said actor Daniel Kaluuya ("Queen and Slim"). "So, it's a really, really tough time. But the people in Los Angeles are very resilient. And the stories I've heard are that they just keep on keep on going. But prayers and blessings are out to anyone that's affected." Director Dean DeBlois ("How to Train Your Dragon") was concerned about his own home in La Canada Flintridge, about 15 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. He said he nearly lost his home in the 2017 La Tuna Canyon blaze, nearby. Composer Diane Warren ("I Don't Want to Miss a Thing") had to evacuate her animal-rescue sanctuary after last year's Malibu files and said she was "scared" she'd have to displace the animals again.     2019 marks "BlacKkKlansman" composer Terence Blanchard's first wildfire season living primarily in Los Angeles, after having New Orleans serve as home since he was born in 1962.   "It's the first time that it can really affect my life," he said. "It's a struggle. You know, and I come from a place where we are accustomed to having hurricanes and serious weather events. This is something you really can't prepare for, because they can pop and come out of nowhere. So, I'm getting I'm prayerful and hopeful that things will turn out for the best."
