“We’d rather march to hear Willkie on national unity than be marched into a concentration camp,” Harry Warner firmly stated in the summer of 1941. The mogul was responding to criticism for his encouraging studio employees to attend a rally at the Hollywood Bowl featuring 1940 Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie, a strong advocate for U.S. intervention in World War II.

Oscar is the alpha dog and that one evening has a ripple effect on every other year-end kudos, similar to the scrambling when Oscar shifted dates in 2003 and again this year.
Gut instinct says yes, of course the ceremony will happen, but maybe in a different format. The bad news: If history
is any indication, we may not know for a long time.
Throughout the decades, no major awards show — Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Tonys, et al. — has been totally canceled. There have been three Oscar postponements, in 1938, 1968 and 1981. But in each case, it was just a matter of a few days.
