The Academy confused fans when the official Twitter account for the organization shared their own predictions for the 2020 Oscars, which is set to go down on Sunday (February 9).
On Monday night, The Academy shared a graphic titled "My Oscar Predictions," which revealed the categories and winners to accompany each face-off. While the image went viral, the account quickly deleted the message, explaining that the tweet was just a result of an error involving fan predictions for the upcoming ceremony. "We invited fans on Twitter to make and share your #Oscars predictions. A ton of you already have!" the message read. "A brief issue on Twitter made some of yours look like they came from our account. They didn’t. This error is now resolved. And we’ll reveal our picks on Sunday."
While the message was intended to keep fans at bay, there's no denying that many of their predictions are in line with general fan odds, including Parasite taking home Best Picture, Joaquin Phoenix nabbing Best Actor and more. See who takes home the titles when the 2020 Oscars air live on Sunday on ABC at 8 pm ET.
