When asked why he thinks voters and committee members have had such a high opinion of Bey for so long, he said:

“I would have to imagine it’s because of the level of quality and excellence that she has represented throughout her career. In this particular year, she released a body of work that impressed a lot of voters and a lot of people on the committee.”

Committed to diversity and changing the narrative about the storied Awards show, Mason used his debut to set the tone for years to come.
