During a recent appearance on Late Late Show in Dublin, Ruth opened up about how the new movie is generating Oscar buzz.

“It’s lovely to hear,” she said. “I don’t know anyone who does their job for the Oscar, but it’s a lovely thing to be acknowledged by your peers.”

Ruth, who has been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for Loving, added she found the award ceremony to be very overwhelming.

“It’s very overwhelming,” she says. “It’s so different to acting because, while there is a certain amount of surrender, you do have an awful lot of control – but with this thing you don’t. And the scrutiny is uncomfortable.”

FYI: Ruth wore a Carolina Herrera candy pink puff sleeve dress. Andre is wearing Ermenegildo Zegna.

The trailer for Passing is finally here!

Adapted from the celebrated 1929 novel of the same name by Nella Larsen, Passing tells the story of two Black women, Irene Redfield (Tessa Thompson) and Clare Kendry (Academy Award nominee Ruth Negga), who can “pass” as white but choose to live on opposite sides of the color line during the height of the Harlem Renaissance in late 1920s New York. After a chance encounter reunites the former childhood friends one summer afternoon, Irene reluctantly allows Clare into her home, where she ingratiates herself to Irene’s husband (André Holland) and family, and soon her larger social circle as well. As their lives become more deeply intertwined, Irene finds her once-steady existence upended by Clare, and PASSING becomes a riveting examination of obsession, repression and the lies people tell themselves and others to protect their carefully constructed realities.

Alexander Skarsgard, Bill Camp, Gbenga Akinnagbe, and Antoinette Crowe-Legacy also star.

The film hits select theaters on October 27 and will debut on Netflix on November 10.

Ruth Negga has signed on to star in the upcoming limited series Josephine, which will follow the life of the legendary entertainer Josephine Baker.

The 39-year-old Oscar-nominated actress will also serve as an executive producer on the project, which also counts LeBron James as an EP.

The project was written by David Makes Man showrunner Dee Harris-Lawrence and will be directed by Emmy-nominated director Millicent Shelton.

Deadline reports that “Josephine is a raw and unflinching look at the force of nature that was Josephine Baker, the biggest Black female artist of her time. From international superstar and decorated WWII spy, to civil rights activist and flawed mother, Josephine delves into the raw talent, sexual fluidity, struggles and bold life of an icon.”

Ruth‘s upcoming movie Passing recently premiered at Sundance and some big news was announced there!
