    The Hollywood Reporter

    ABC Digital have apologised after Amy Adams and Tom Hanks were mistakenly listed as nominees on the Oscars website.

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

    "The nominees announced by the Academy on Twitter were accurate. ABC quickly identified and corrected the errors. We apologise to the Academy, press and fans for any confusion."

    Let's hope Amy and Tom are in a forgiving mood!

  6. Shocks, snubs and surprisespublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2017

    Every year there are a few Oscar nomination shocks. And today was no exception. 

    Perhaps the most unexpected was Amy Adams who’s been nominated five times in the past. Her performance in Arrival has already been recognised with nominations from the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globes and Bafta. 

    But the Academy has surprisingly decided not to nominate her for a sixth time. Although Arrival, which is very much centred around her performance, did pick up eight nominations including best picture.

    In the supporting actor category many expected Hugh Grant to pick up his first Oscar nod for his much praised performance in Florence Foster Jenkins after nominations from Bafta and the Golden Globes. And after his win at the Golden Globes win for Nocturnal Animals Aaron Taylor-Johnson was also expected to feature. Instead it’s Michael Shannon from the same film who’s picked up a nomination.

    Denzel Washington, a long-time Academy favourite, missed out on a director nomination for Fences (although he did get a best acting nomination). While Mel Gibson, who’s not had an uncontroversial few years, has been symbolically welcomed back to the Oscar family with his nomination for directing Hacksaw Ridge.

    For many the best superhero film of the year was the hugely successful Deadpool - but it failed to pick up a single nomination. While the critically derided Suicide Squad did get one for make-up and hairstyling.

    And the often triumphant Pixar who’ve won the animation category Oscar on eight previous occasions will have to sit out this year’s ceremony after the billion dollar grossing sequel Finding Dory failed to land a nomination from the Academy.

  7. Uh-ohpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2017

    Poor Tom Hanks was mistakenly included in the list of best actor nominees on the Oscars official website, as was Arrival's Amy Adams in the best actress list.

    The pair were two of the big surprise omissions this year, which perhaps explains the mistake. The names have since been removed but not before somebody took a screengrab.

  8. Oscar nominations: Reactionpublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2017

    Not everyone is thrilled with La La Land's 14 nominations. Here's what some of you have been telling us:

    Really! La La Land 14 nominations? Has anyone actually seen the film?! Within 10 minutes of the start my wife and I looked at each other to say "Another bad choice of film!"

    Very weak storyline. Music and singing not on a par with any of the great musicals. Just wanted it to end!

    When will the critics actually be honest about a film? 5 star this, and 5 star that.....well it would barely get a 2 in my opinion. Hoping Hacksaw Ridge will be better...but then it couldn't really be any worse!

    Nigel Wynn

    I can't believe the hype over La La land. It was a very disappointing film, pretty poor singing, too long and absolutely not worth 14 nominations, nor anywhere near.

    Richard Davey

    La la Land was very, very disappointing.

    First 1/3 of the movie I didn't know what the story was about. 2/3 of the way I was waiting for to finally kick off. For the last part I couldnt wait for it to end!

    There, that's my review!!

    Saw Lion today. Fantastic. Hands down winner. Fast moving. Sensitive. Poignant. Beautifully enacted. Highly recommended

    What a morning. I am so grateful for this honour and I'm so happy to share this feeling with my La La Land family. The greatest part of life is connecting with people, and I love the deeply talented, kind and passionate people I was lucky enough to work with on this movie.

    Quote Message

    I'm also overjoyed that the movie has connected with audiences in the way it has, and that it's hopefully bringing a kick in their step to those who watch it. This is beyond any of our wildest imaginings and we can't wait to celebrate together.

    I want to thank the Academy for all of the acknowledgements you have given this heartfelt film. But, most importantly, I want to thank the Brierley family for putting themselves in such a vulnerable place and sharing their story with the world. And thanks to Garth Davis for putting his heart and soul into all of us. Woo hoo!

  15. Could La La Land win all of its 14 nominations on the night?published at 14:27 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2017

    Well, as it has two nominations in one category, best original song, the answer would appear to be no.

    But, if there was a tie for first place in that category between both of La La Land’s entries, then it would be awarded two Oscars in that one category.

    So mathematically it is possible, and it does happen.

    Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn tied for best actress in 1969. And as recently as 2013, Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty shared the best sound editing award.

    So while it’s highly unlikely, it’s not totally impossible that La La Land could sweep all 14 awards next month.

    I really cannot believe this. I heard the news from my brother because I was too terrified to listen to the nominations. I couldn't be more thrilled that the movie has been nominated in so many categories, it's so unexpected. It was a [role] I initially turned down, so this is quite a result!
