The 2026 Oscars have been placed on high alert following the FBI’s warning about a potential “surprise attack” from Iran.
This year’s Oscars ceremony is due to take place on Sunday evening in Los Angeles, and is expected to be attended by an array of Hollywood A-listers including Timothée Chalamet, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman.
According to an alert reported by ABC News, the FBI notified law enforcement across California in recent days that Iran could potentially retaliate for American military actions by launching drones toward the West Coast.
“We want everybody to feel safe and protected and welcome, so it’s our job as a producing team to make sure that that translates,” Oscars telecast producer Raj Kapoor said in a statement to journalists.
“We have the support of the FBI and the LAPD, and it’s a close collaboration,” Kapoor said. “This show has to run like clockwork. But we want everybody that is coming to this show, that is witnessing the show, that is even a fan of the show when they’re standing outside the barricades.”
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said that it was at an “elevated level of vigilance” to threats that could include “lone actors” and “sleeper cells”.
“In light of current global events, the Department remains at an elevated level of readiness and is maintaining increased vigilance as we continue to protect our residents of Los Angeles County. We are working closely with our federal and local law enforcement partners to share intelligence and monitor the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and assess any potential impacts in our communities."

Is it already Oscar’s season???
Yawn
And don’t forget safe distancing!! 6 feet at all times
Would it sound bad if I said that was one event where it would be better for all if no alert was given?
SNORT.
Looks like an attempt to goose dismal ratings to me.
Well, Iran’s been attacking places friendly to it, so the Oscars would qualify.
Islamic crazies could kill a huge number of Hollywood Leftists.
And that would make the Hollywood Leftists hate America even more.
Yep. You mean a covid booster doesn’t protect against surprise attacks from islam?
And the Best Lone Actor award goes to . . .
LOL
Hollyweird is a military target?
oh my - what au courant woke lapel pin do they have in store this go-round? our LAPD chief is good- not so much our LACounty sheriff.depending on Bass and Newsom for security? get real, Tinseltown.
But, but....the tolerance....the inclusion.
We should both be ashamed.😉
𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘺𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵?
Hollywood does specialize in propaganda.
Two questions come to mind
1. Would the American public notice? Nobody watches the Oscars anymore.
2. Why would the regime in Iran do the American public the favor of blowing up a bunch of obnoxious America hating leftists?
Incentivise the Iranians, tell them its a convention of incel furries.....bombs away!
The days when I would watch such are long gone. Number of movies I watched last year.....zero. Carry on Hollywood.
“...Oscars on high alert...”
Why would the IRGC and Mullahs attack their supporters in the USA? /spit
