Óskarslistinn var auðvitað FAKE

A document leaked online early Friday that appeared to reveal the winners for Sunday night’s 81st Academy Awards ceremony has been branded a fake by an Oscars spokesperson.

According to the list, Mickey Rourke would win Best Actor, Kate Winslet would finally get a Best Actress gong while the support awards would go to Heath Ledger and Amy Adams.

British film Slumdog Millionaire was alleged to be named Best Picture, while Danny Boyle would take home the Best Director prize.

Not quite, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The document was believed to be authentic because it was signed by Academy President Sid Ganis. However, an Oscar spokesperson has called the paper a “hoax” in a statement to E! News: “The Academy’s president is not advised of the winners in advance.”

“There are only two people there who will know the complete list of winners in advance of the envelopes being opened during the ceremony.”

According to the rep, voting ballots for this year’s big winners are still being counted.
