“I am truly humbled by the news, and I thank the Academy for this recognition, which I share with my co-collaborators Jeff Nichols and Joel Edgerton,” she said in a statement.
The former Love/Hate star, 35, is nominated for her role in Loving, which tells the true story of an illegal inter-racial marriage in 1950s Virginia.
The couple battled before the Supreme Court in 1967 for their right to live together as husband and wife.
“It has been such an honour to have been given the opportunity to tell the incredible story of Richard and Mildred Loving, who serve as an inspiration that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

“The Lovings fought quietly yet tirelessly, and changed the course of American legal history.
“To be among such extraordinary women - my fellow nominees, my peers with films this year, and the legendary performers whose work of years past has long inspired me. This means a really great deal to me,” she said.  


Ruth's Best Red Carpet Moments

Ruth Negga was born in 1981 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to an Irish nurse and an Ethiopian doctor who had met while working in a hospital.
When violence broke out in the streets of Addis Ababa, four-year-old Ruth and her mother fled to Limerick, Ireland and waited for her father to join them, but he was killed in a car accident in 1988. Despite never really knowing him, she has never been tempted to change her Ethiopian surname -- which means “coming of dawn”.


Being mixed-race in 1980s Ireland made her feel like a fish out of water, and pushed Negga towards becoming an actor. She has said she is drawn to stories of alienation, but it was watching David Bowie descending a flight of steps in the children’s film Labyrinth that actually made her want to try acting.

THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Spring Festival, in China start on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The festival lasts for about 23 days, ending on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the following year in the Chinese calendar.

What Do People Do?

Many people clean their homes to welcome the Spring Festival. They put up the red posters with poetic verses on it to their doors, Chinese New Year pictures on their walls, and decorate their homes with red lanterns. It is also a time to reunite with relatives so many people visit their families at this time of the year. 


In the evening of the Spring Festival Eve, many people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hoping to cast away any bad luck and bring forth good luck. Children often receive “luck” money. Many people wear new clothes and send Chinese New Year greetings to each other. Various activities such as beating drums and striking gongs, as well as dragon and lion dances, are all part of the Spring Festival festivities.

Public Life

The Spring Festival is a national holiday in China. Government offices, schools, universities and many companies are closed during the period from the Spring Festival Eve to the seventh day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar. However, some enterprises such as banks often arrange for workers to be on shift duty. Public transport is available during the Chinese New Year period.

Background

According to historical documents, on the day when Shun, who was one of ancient China’s mythological emperors, came to the throne more than 4000 years ago, he led his ministers to worship heaven and earth. From then on, that day was regarded as the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar. This is the basic origin of Chinese New Year. China adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1911, so Chinese New Year was renamed the Spring Festival.

Symbols

The red posters with poetic verses on it were initially a type of amulet, but now it simply means good fortune and joy. Various Chinese New Year symbols express different meanings. For example, an image of a fish symbolizes “having more than one needs every year”. A firecracker symbolizes “good luck in the coming year”. The festival lanterns symbolize “pursuing the bright and the beautiful”.

                THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

Happy New Year!


The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February.
On the Western calendar, the start of Chinese New Year this year falls on Saturday, January 28, 2017 — The Year of the Rooster.
If you were born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, or 2017 you were born under the sign of the rooster.

Rooster personality traits? Probably what you would expect -- they are showy, often boastful individuals who demand respect and often get what they want! But with all their bravado, roosters also need love and approval and are steadfast with family and often show extreme loyalty to friends.


On the down side, negative rooster personality traits include nit-picking other people's faults and flaws, and they can be quite aggressive as they push others out of the way to achieve their own set of personal goals.


With their naturally exuberant personalities, roosters can excel in any profession they choose, but are usually in their element as publicists, entertainers or restaurateurs, If you were born under the sign of the rooster, watch as your efforts pay off in 2017 as you enter into a prosperous period in which you can really shine, either personally or professionally.



Famous people born under the Sign of the Rooster Jessica Alba, Catherine the Great, Amelia Earhart, Paris Hilton, Rudyard Kipling, Britney Spears, and Peter Ustinov
