Some cheers — and jeers — for the Oscars From CNN's Lisa Respers France In this handout photo provided by A.M.P.A.S., Regina King speaks onstage during the 93rd Annual Academy Awards at Union Station on April 25 in Los Angeles. Todd Wawrychuk/A.M.P.A.S./Getty Images Awards season is officially over with the conclusion of the 93rd Academy Awards. It started off strong, with "One Night in Miami" director Regina King strutting regally into the theater to kick off the show (her name literally means Queen King so what else might we expect) and speaking out about both the industry's struggle to get back on track because of the pandemic and this country's struggle with the deaths of unarmed people — many of them Black — at the hands of police.
