Emmy Watch: Regina King in "Watchmen"

We here at TFE are big fans of Regina King, as you know. She’s been performing in the business for over 35 years, and has weathered career ups and downs as all good working actors do. She's risen to the top of the field in the last few years with three Emmys for very interesting and strong roles in TV.
Personally, I had split feelings about her Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress last year for If Beale Street Could Talk. As a fan of her and her work, I was thrilled to see Regina King get an Oscar. But I found Beale Street to be heavy-handed and unconvincing, and the movie gave her too few notes to play. She brought everything she could to the role and the film, but it would have been more thrilling to see her win for a juicy, complex role.
Which makes what Regina King does on Watchmen so exciting...
