"We want to reassure every Angeleno that we continue to coordinate with all of our Federal, State, and local partners for intelligence and information sharing during the ongoing Middle East conflict.

"We want everybody who is coming to this show, who is witnessing the show, who is even a fan of the show, when they're standing outside the barricades. We want everybody to feel safe, protected, and welcome. It's our job as a producing team to make sure that that translates."
Local and federal officials have enhanced security measures for Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony following FBI warnings about potential Iranian retaliation through drone strikes in California. While authorities confirmed no credible or specific threats exist against the state or the Oscars, the LAPD is deploying additional uniformed officers, specialized units including SWAT and bomb squads, surveillance cameras, and drones. Federal officials and approximately 1,000 private security officers will supplement these efforts. Officials emphasized coordination among federal, state, and local partners for intelligence sharing and real-time threat assessment. Oscars executive producer Raj Kapoor acknowledged the heightened security while assuring attendees, viewers, and fans that the production team prioritizes safety and welcomes everyone to the event.
