<p>Last night was a big night for Regina King as she walked away with a Golden Globe for Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for the new Barry Jenkins film “If Beale Street Could Talk.”</p>
<p>During her acceptance speech, Regina used her platform to make a vow and she encouraged others to follow as well.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/regina-king-golden-globes-2019-speech-1203100762/">Variety</a></em>, she said, “The reason why we do this is because we understand that our microphones are big and we are speaking for everyone. 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, and it’s going to be tough, to make sure that everything that I produce that is 50% women.”</p>
<p>While making her speech the ceremonial music started to play, but then cut off as she continued. “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, said Regina.”</p>
<p>Regina King was nominated for two awards at Sunday’s show, and her win for Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, marked her first ever Golden Globe win.</p>
