Yesterday it was announced that Ruth Negga had nabbed a coveted Oscar nomination in the Best Actress category. She was awarded the nod for her role in the film Loving.
The Academy released the nominations yesterday, but it seems that the official Oscar website wasn’t quite as up-to-speed, as they gave Ruth’s nomination to US actor Amy Adams.
The site also named Tom Hanks in the Best Actor category, when he shouldn’t have appeared on the list.
ABC Digital took responsibility for the slip, and apologised to those who may have been confused by their error.
In a statement the company said, “This morning, in an attempt to release breaking news as announced, ABC Digital briefly posted inaccurate nomination information on the Oscar.com website.
“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.”
