ABC Digital made Tom Hanks and Amy Adams Oscar snub crueler by mistakenly naming them as Oscar nominees. The "Sully" actor and the "Arrival" actress were mistakenly listed for Best Actor and Best Actress nominations respectively on Oscar.com on Tuesday, January 24. ABC/Oscar has subsequently apologized for the unfortunate flub.

"This morning, in an attempt to release breaking news as announced, ABC Digital briefly posted inaccurate nomination information on the Oscar.com website," ABC said in a statement. "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."

ABC Digital incorrectly listed the "Forest Gump" actor as the Best Actor nominee for his role as Capt. Chesley Sullenberger in biopic "Sully". The actual nominations for Best Actor in 2017 Oscar Awards went to Casey Affleck ("Manchester by the Sea"), Andrew Garfield ("Hacksaw Ridge"), Ryan Gosling ("La La Land"), Viggo Mortensen ("Captain Fantastic) and Denzel Washington ("Fences"). Hanks, however, previously took home statues for this category for his roles in "Forest Gump" and "Philadelphia".

Meanwhile, ABC mistakenly named Adams as the Best Actress nominee for her role as linguist Louise Banks in sci-fi film "Arrival", instead of Ruth Negga for "Loving". Should she be nominated, it would be her 6th Oscar nomination. The actual Best Actress nominations went to Isabelle Huppert ("Elle"), Ruth Negga ("Loving"), Natalie Portman ("Jackie"), Emma Stone ("La La Land") and Meryl Streep ("Florence Foster Jenkins"). According to sources, the "Man of Steel" actress wasn't aware about her being mistakenly nominated before it was corrected.

Other than Hanks and Adams, the awards show also made the same mistake towards Annette Bening. She was mistakenly listed in the Best Actress category for "20th Century Women".
