Changes

Between 2002 and 2015 the Miss Universe was organized through a partnership between NBC and businessman Donald Trump. In July this year, after the comments of Trump with respect to Mexican immigrants during the launch of his candidacy for president of the United States in 2016, the station cut all ties with the businessman, including canceling the transmission of tenders attached to it .

The organization of Trump output dispute only did well at the ceremony, which was much more dynamic, modern and interactive. For the first time, the public functioned as one of the five judges, by vote by internet (one of the factors for the Filipina victory). It was also the public that elected the Best National Costume Award (Thailand). In the final stretch, when only the remaining misses Philippines, Colombia and the United States, the other 77 candidates eliminated were also able to vote for their favorite - it is likely that Colombia has lost there, as was pointed out by many as unsympathetic in group dynamics.

Previously, candidates could only have a maximum of 25 years. This 64th, passed for 27 years. If it was the previous regulation, the winner, Pia Alonzo could not even compete.


Before standardized, the very candidates could choose swimsuits that would parade. The stage of the questions was also more differentiated. Instead of those clichés questions, they were asked about current discussions in their own countries: the French was asked how to deal with terrorism; the US on arms policy; Australian on the legalization of marijuana; Colombian on combating drugs; and the Philippine about the presence of a US military base in the territory of their country.

One of the most exciting moments of the night, the audience discovered the drama of the Miss Slovenia, Ana Haložan. During the 20 days when the candidates were confined, participating in events and trials, the candidate passed out and got one side of the body paralyzed, being forbidden by doctors to participate in the closing ceremony. But Anna appeared on stage in a cameo and received a bouquet of flowers of Miss Universe 2014, Paulina Vega.
