She may not have won at the Golden Globes last night (losing out to Isabelle Huppert) but Ruth Negga was winning in every other department as she looked absolutely stunning at the glitzy ceremony.

Hollywood legend Meryl Streep also mentioned Ruth in a speech where she spoke of the diversity in the room. During the speech she very nearly said Ruth was raised in London, but corrected quickly!
...the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, raised in...... no, in Ireland, I do believe, and she’s here nominated for playing a smalltown girl from Virginia.
