Last year, it was reported that there were no Black members of the HFPA, and critics accused the organization of several ethical lapses. Amid the controversy, NBC said it would not air the ceremony, and on Thursday, the HFPA announced this year's awards show would be private and not livestreamed. No celebrities attended the event.
Variety reports that during Sunday's ceremony, HFPA President Helen Hoehne said the organization is "going to be outspoken about what we're learning and challenge others to join us with members from more than 50 countries. We have a unique place in the awards universe."
