This year’s awards arrive amid controversy, as NBC decided in early 2021 that it will not air next year’s ceremony after an exposé revealed a lack of Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. NBC noted that a 2023 broadcast will be considered in the event of “meaningful reform.” The HFPA responded by announcing 21 new members (including six Black journalists), a chief diversity officer, and a five-year partnership with the NAACP.
