Actress Ruth Negga is nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Movie for her performances in Loving.

Virginia, 1967). Note: Negga is biracial: she was born in 1982 in Ethiopia to an Irish mother and Ethiopian father.) Other nominees for the Golden Globe are Jessica Chastain (Miss Sloane), Isabelle Huppert (Elle), Natalie Portman (Jackie), and Amy Adams (Arrival).
Negga is in a relationship with actor Dominic Cooper. They both starred in the AMC TV series Preacher.

Cooper is also recognized for his role as Amanda Seyfried’s fiance in Mamma Mia!, Howard Stark on Marvel’s Agent Carter, and in a series of IBM cloud commercials.
