Regina King wants Hollywood to do something.
While accepting her Golden Globe for "If Beale Street Could Talk," the legendary actress called for her industry to take the next step after acknowledging its failings.
"So often everyone out there they hear us on the red carpet and they say a celebrity is 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," King 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 percent women. And I just challenge 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."
In a year with more diversity than most, including "Black Panther" and "Crazy Rich Asians," King said that this awards cycle can't be an anomaly, but rather the new normal.
Host Sandra Oh alluded to the same during her opening monologue, when she joked about movies like "Aloha" and "Ghost in the Shell" that failed to use diverse casts.
