If the Oscars knew the chemical make-up of water, they would know that is is different, even though is looks and acts in the same way. This is like us, since we know exactly what it is.
However, if they didn't know they would think* that it was the same thing. Because they had no reason to believe different. (like we were when we thought the world was flat.)
The answer to the original question "Are the chemicals different?" is yes. But to the Oscars it is no.

* Think means that they thought they knew. However, they were wrong.
