The preliminary judges' non-inclusion in the Top 15 of Miss Ukraine, who was widely expected to be in Top 5, and even win the Miss Universe title, sent shock waves through the pageant world.

Ten of the Top 15 were from the Americas. 

In the following year changes were made so that from that year onwards the preliminary judges would chose 9 of the Top 15, and the Miss Universe Organization chose the other 6.
