Regina King glow up was real Sunday night as she won her first Golden Globe.
She took home the Globe for best performance by an actress in a supporting role for Barry Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk.”
During her acceptance speech, King vowed in the next two years to employ 50% women in her projects, and challenged her peers to do the same.
“The reason why we do this is because we understand that our microphones are big and we are speaking for everyone,” she said. “And I just want to say that I’m going to use my platform right now to say in the next two years, everything that I produce, I’m making a vow — it’s going to be tough — to make sure that everything that I produce that is 50% women.”
“And I just challenge anyone out there — anyone out there who is in a position of power, not just in our industry, in all industries — I challenge you to challenge yourselves and stand with us in solidarity and do the same,” she concluded.
