LOS ANGELES — Regina King’s flowing gown nearly tripped her up on the way to collect her Oscar trophy, the actress’ only misstep this award season. King was honoured as best supporting actress for “If Beale Street Could Talk” at Sunday’s ceremony, a final flourish to a run of victories including a Golden Globe trophy, Independent Spirit award and numerous honours from film critics’ groups. King switched her attention to her beaming mother, who had accompanied her to the ceremony. Coming to her rescue: Chris Evans, aka Captain America, who helped steady her as she got untangled. The other nominees in the supporting actress category were Amy Adams for “Vice,” Marina de Tavira with “Roma” and Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz for “The Favourite.”——Associated Press writers Andrew Dalton and Lindsey Bahr contributed to this report.
