What followed was a series of very public criticisms of the association, including one from TIMES UP, who blasted both the association and NBC, the network that airs the annual ceremony, for their response, or lack thereof.
Since then, much of Hollywood has vowed not to work with the association, including major filmmakers, studios, and more. NBC itself also announced that they would not air the ceremony in early 2022, sharing in a statement, “Change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”
