“Due to the devastating fires in the Los Angeles area, many members of the MUAHS Guild have been forced to evacuate their homes and studios, causing disruptions in their daily lives and work. In order to support these members and give them the opportunity to fully participate in the awards, the voting date has been extended to January 17th,” said Julie Socash, President of MUAHS, IATSE Local 706. “We are committed to supporting our members and all MUAHS Awards nominees and ensuring that all deserving artists have the chance to be recognized for their hard work and talent.
