Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, the Oscar favorite for best supporting actress, revealed who’s already reached out to her.
“[Producer] Bert Salke has [reached out], Tyler Perry, immediately, and those are men,” King, 47, told the site. “Those are just a couple of the men. I haven’t even finished going through all my congratulations emails, so I’m sure there’s a couple of others.”
During her acceptance speech for best performance by an actress in a supporting role for her work in “If Beale Street Could Talk,” King made a very powerful promise to viewers and her fellow Hollywood colleagues.
“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,” she said on stage before the music cut her speech. “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.”
Immediately after her speech, she received support from Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone.
