Oscars apologise for forgetting Ruth Negga nomination

The actress was not listed on their website in the Best Actress category

The Oscars have apologised for forgetting to include Ruth Negga’s nomination.

The Love/Hate star was read out in the live broadcast as one of the five women nominated for Best Actress.

However, on their website she was not listed, instead replaced by Amy Adams.

The Best Actress category wasn’t the only one with errors online as there were six actors listed for Best Actor and just four listed for Supporting Actor.
