A nationwide FAA ground stoppage has thrown the entertainment industry's busy weekend into chaos.

The 17th Governors Awards, scheduled for Sunday in Hollywood, is a high-profile event that could be affected.
Other significant events facing potential impact include Saturday's Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Los Angeles. The American Film Market, concluding on Sunday in Los Angeles, might also see foreign buyers and sellers facing extended stays. Further impacting travel, the traditional "Hollywood flight" from Vancouver to LAX is also reportedly affected.

Lionsgate, distributor for "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" premiere in New York, is among those observing the developing circumstances.
