Others also chimed in throughout the ceremony:
To the \"allies\" who told me that they are losing jobs to diversity & there is too much diversity in TV PLEASE look at the winners of tonights Emmy. Who got extensive budgets & campaigns? Still so much work to do for actual equality. Glad to be on the Exec committee to make change

The fact that the #Emmys2021 has so many Black and brown people hosting, and so few winning, is another example of performative \"commitments\" to representation. It's not just about who gets a trophy—awards like the #Emmys determine who gets their projects funded and more.

The controversy has renewed calls for the Emmy Awards to reevaluate its voting base, in addition for boycotts.
The hashtag #EmmysSoWhite also began trending on Twitter.
