Yas Queen: Irish Actress Named In Oscar Nominations Announcement

The 2017 Oscar nominations have been announced only moments ago and we have some very good news: brilliant Irish actress Ruth Negga has been nominated for BEST ACTRESS in a leading role for 'Loving'! Yas queen! We are so happy for you, Ruth.

The first-time nominee is up against Emma Stone for La La Land, Isabelle Huppert for Elle, Natalie Portman for Jackie and Meryl Streep for Florence Foster Jenkins because the Academy has a clause that she legally has to be nominated every year until the end of time.

The best picture nominees were also announced and there's some crackers in there this year with favourites La La Land and Moonlight in the mix, as well as Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, Lion, and Manchester by the Sea.

We also have to give snaps to Ryan Gosling for his Best Actor in a Leading Role nomination, as well as Viola Davis for Fences! Yay for everyone in Hollywood today.
