OSCAR Website Accidentally Lists Tom Hanks & Amy Adams as Nominees

The nominations for the 89th Annual ACADEMY AWARDS were announced this morning, and in its haste to post the list of nominees, the official Oscar website accidentally included some incorrect information.

Actors Amy Adams and Tom Hanks were not nominated for their roles this year, yet were mistakenly placed in the Best Actress and Best Actor categories respectively on the website. Adams' name was placed in the category for her performance in Arrival instead of Ruth Negga's, who did receive a nomination for her performance in Loving.

Two time Oscar winner Tom Hanks was placed in the category for his performance in Sully as a sixth nominee, when there were actually only five in the group - Casey Affleck for Manchester by the Sea, Denzel Washington for Fences, Ryan Gosling for La La Land, Viggo Mortensen for Captain Fantastic, and Andrew Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge.

Once the errors were corrected, ABC issued the following statement:

"This morning, in an attempt to release breaking news as announced, ABC Digital briefly posted inaccurate nomination information on the Oscar.com website," the statement reads. "The nominees announced by the Academy on Twitter were accurate. ABC quickly identified and corrected the errors. We apologize to the Academy, press and fans for any confusion."
