\"I'm an example of what it looks like when support and love is poured into someone,\" she said.
\"Mom, I love you so much,\" she added, directly addressing her mother. \"Thank you for teaching me that God is always leaning -- always has been leaning in my direction.\"

King also thanked the cast and crew of \"If Beale Street Could Talk.\"
Of her fellow nominees, she said, \"It has been an honor to have my name just said with yours. This whole step of the way, it's been pretty amazing.\"
\"God is good all the time,\" she said, concluded her acceptance speech.
King also spoke about the significance of being at the biggest award show in Hollywood during a pre-show interview with E!.
“I can’t say that I didn’t expect to ever be at the Oscars, but to be at the Oscars representing James Baldwin is kind of mind blowing,\" she shared.
King also shared how she was able to draw personal connections with her character in “If Beale Street Could Talk.”
“Well my mom, that’s the woman that she is, just giving, heart so huge, holds so much love in her heart, and that’s what Sharon was to me when I read her on the page, so I knew where to pull that from –- from my mother and my grandmother.”
King has had a whirlwind award season this year.
She took home the Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a supporting role, as well as a Critics' Choice Movie Award for best supporting actress for her role in \"If Beale Street Could Talk.\"
