Regina King | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Regina King made her directorial debut with the upcoming movie One Night in Miami and now the film’s release plan has been revealed!

The movie had its festival debut last month and earned rave reviews, cementing its status as a frontrunner for the upcoming awards season. Regina could become the first Black woman to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars, just two years after she won for acting.

One Night in Miami will open in select theaters on December 25, 2020 and then it will begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video on January 15, 2021.

As Variety reports, the movie “tells a fictional account of one incredible evening, in which Muhammad Ali (Eli Goree), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir) gather after Ali defeated Sonny Liston in February 1964.”

Regina said in a statement, “To complete and release a film within the same year is a difficult task. We welcomed the challenge because we knew now was the time for this film to be released. Amazon fully supported our intention and I could not be more excited this prescient story will be seen across the globe.”

Just a couple weeks ago, Regina achieved something pretty awesome!

Watchmen was the big winner in the limited series and TV movie categories at the 2020 Emmy Awards!

The HBO show took home the award for Outstanding Limited Series and 10 other awards this year from 26 nominations.

On Sunday (September 20), during the Primetime Emmys, the show also won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for Regina King and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Earlier in the week, the Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies handed out awards in the creative fields.

Watchmen won for Outstanding Casting for a Limited Series, Movie or Special, Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited Series or Movie, Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special, Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Limited Series or Movie, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special, and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited Series or Movie.

Regina King has won her fourth Emmy Award in just six years and she used the moment to put a spotlight on important causes.

The 49-year-old actress won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her work in the HBO series Watchmen.

Regina previously won in 2015 and 2016 for her work on the ABC series American Crime. She also won in 2018 for the Netflix series Seven Seconds.

During her speech at the 2020 show, Regina wore a Breonna Taylor shirt to encourage others to support the fight for justice in her case. She also urged her fans to vote.

Regina said, “Have a voting plan. Go to Ballotpedia. Vote up the ballot. Please. Go to Ballotpedia and find out who are voting in your municipal elections. It is very important. Be a good human. Rest in power RBG.”

Regina King is a three-time Emmy Award winner and she’s expected to win yet another award during tonight’s virtual show!

Since there won’t be a red carpet for the 2020 Emmy Awards, we decided to look back at all of the great fashion that she has worn in the past.

Regina made her first Emmys appearance in 2015 when she was nominated for the first season of American Crime. She took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie while wearing a Krikor Jabotian dress.

In 2016, Regina wore a red Elizabeth Kennedy dress and won again in the same category for the second season of American Crime. She was nominated a third time in 2017, but didn’t win. She wore a black, white, and gray Galia Lahav dress that year.

Regina won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her work in Seven Seconds in 2018. She stunned in a neon yellow Christian Siriano dress.

Though she wasn’t nominated in 2019, Regina attended the event as a presenter and wore a blue Jason Wu Collection dress.

This year, Regina is nominated for her work in the HBO limited series Watchmen.

Regina King is adding her star power to western movie, The Harder They Fall.

The 49-year-old Watchmen actress will join Lakeith Stanfield, Zasie Beatz, and Delroy Lindo in the upcoming Netflix movie, as well as Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, and RJ Cyler, Deadline reports.

The flick, which also stars Idris Elba and Jonathan Majors, follows outlaw Nat Love (Majors) who discovers that the man (Elba) who killed his parents two decades ago is being released from prison, and he reunites with his gang to track his enemy down and seek his revenge.

The all-Black western movie will be directed by Jeymes Samuel.

If you didn’t see, Regina just made big history with her new movie, One Night in Miami, which premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival. See the feat she just achieved!

Regina King is the first Black woman to direct a movie selected to premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

The Oscar-winning actress is making her directorial debut with the movie One Night in Miami, which is having its premiere at the festival this week.

Regina is not in attendance at the festival due to the pandemic, but she appeared at the press conference via Zoom to discuss the honor of being included. She noted that if her film fails, it will make it difficult for another Black woman to have the same chance in the future.

“Unfortunately, across the world, that’s how things seem to work. One woman gets a shot and if she does not succeed, it shuts thing down for years until someone else gets a shot,” she said (via Variety). “I am so grateful for our film to be a part of the festival but I really, really want it to perform well. There’s so much talent out there — so many talented directors — so if One Night in Miami gets it done here, you’ll get to see a lot more of us.”

We’re glad to report that the movie is indeed succeeding and it’s earning some rave reviews at the festival. With just 10 reviews so far, the movie is currently at a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Regina is nominated for an Emmy this month for her work on the HBO series Watchmen.
