Amy Adams and Tom Hanks weren’t nominated for Oscars Tuesday morning — but the awards show’s official website led people to believe otherwise when they mistakenly posted a nominees list that included the two actors in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories.

The website also added Hanks to the Best Actor category for his role in Sully. Both Adams and Hanks have since been removed from the official list.
