\u201cHe would thank God,\u201d Ledward said through tears. \u201cHe would thank his parents. He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you, \u2018you can,\u2019 that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you are meant to be doing in this moment in history.\u201d\u201cI don\u2019t have his words.

James Corden\u2019s nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role in \u201cThe Prom\u201d has been questioned due to the fact that Corden played a gay male when he is not a member of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n

The recent revelation that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not have any Black voters was also a point of controversy during and after the broadcast.<\/p>\n
