Golden Globes: Regina King Vows to Employ at Least 50% Women on Everything She Produces
Regina King achieved the impossible at the Golden Globes — she got to finish a speech that was originally cut off.After winning the award for actress in a drama film for Barry Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk” on Sunday night, King delivered an impassioned speech, vowing to employ more women on her projects and encouraging others in power to do the same.After thanking various people, including Jenkins, King touched on how celebrities are using their voices to speak on social issues.“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.
