Regina Hall Is “So Honored” To Be The First Black Woman To Win Best Actress From NYFCC

Regina Hall is now the first Black woman to receive a New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) award for Best Actress.

In 83 years, Hall is the first Black woman to win the award, and celebrated Tuesday night. According to HuffingtonPost, Hall joked that she often gets perks when she’s mistaken for Regina King, who won NYFCC’s award for Best Supporting Actress for “If Beale Street Could Talk.”

“So let’s hope she wins that Oscar ’cause God knows what I’ll get … I’ll get a car!” Hall said.

Hall received the honor for her role in the film “Support The Girls” at the NYFCC awards gala at New York’s Tao Downtown restaurant on Monday night. “So honored to be the first Black woman to receive the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress,” she wrote.
