Even the ground under the Academy Awards got into the act after “Anora” was named best picture Sunday night at the Oscars.
Selection of the independent movie made waves on social media, as noted by Forbes.
Thumbs flying in outrage paused for a moment, though, in and around north Hollywood after an earthquake jostled the Los Angeles region.
The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 3.9, took place at 10:13 p.m., according to KTLA.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about a mile and a quarter east-southeast of north Hollywood.
The USGS said “light shaking” was felt in Burbank and north Hollywood.
Reports that the ground shook came from Santa Clarita to the north and Anaheim to the south, according to KTLA.
“Too small to definitively assign to any fault, but the closest is the Hollywood fault. Yawn. Nothing much to say about an earthquake in earthquake country,” seismologist Lucy Jones wrote, according to KABC-TV.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The jiggling of the earth did not even merit the Los Angeles Fire Department implementing its earthquake protocols.
