From Wikipedia:

Regina King (born January 15, 1971) is an American film and television actress and director. She played Brenda Jenkins on the NBC sitcom 227 and had a supporting role in the feature film Jerry Maguire. King in her later career became widely known for her leading roles in two Peabody award winning television shows The Boondocks where she provided the voices Huey and Riley Freeman and Southland where she portrayed Detective Lydia Adams. The latter role earned her two nominations for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2012 and 2013. In 2015, King began starring in the ABC anthology series American Crime, for which she has won her first Primetime Emmy Award.

The ‘American Crime’ actress and Emmy winner accepted her award in a pearl- and sequin-encrusted Krikor Jabotian frock that sparkled with a youthful sense of quaint whimsy in its bell-like silhouette.

I'm glad to see her getting some accolades! (She was also in Poetic Justice with Janet Jackson and Tupac.)

I haven't seen American Crime, but it's a well deserved Acting award win.
