Actress Regina King accepted the Golden Globe for her performance in If Beale Street Could Talk with a promise to produce projects with 50 per cent women. "So often, everyone out there that hears us on a red carpet and they say celebrities are using the time to talk about ourselves when we are on our soap box and using a moment to talk about the systemic things that are going on in life, time's up times two," King said as she got on the stage to pick the trophy in Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role category in the gala on Sunday.

"The reason why we do this is because we understand that our microphones are big and we're speaking for everyone. "I am going to use my platform to say right now that in the next two years, everything that I produce and I am making a vow and it's going to be tough to make sure that everything that I produce, that it's 50 percent women," she added.
