The thread elicited a slew of amusing responses as followers voiced their confusion and shock

It wasn’t all bad news though for Sci-Fi fanatics, as one particular element of the film did depict a level of real-world capability: holograms.

According to the CIA, as the technology continues to develop we may actually see holograms being using for domestic purpose in the near future.

‘They’re real-life hot tech right now & as they improve, intel practitioners in the future could incorporate holographic displays for operations or holographic projections to illustrate situations to the President or other policymakers,’ a spy by the name of Rebecca wrote.

The agency then wished members of the show all the best, and sent their best wishes to other nominees of the ceremony too.

Some certainly seemed to enjoy the unconventional commentary, but others were confused in equal measures too.
