Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation Confuses Gina Rodriguez and America Ferrara

Well, this is awkward.



While tweeting a photo from this morning’s 2016 Golden Globe nominations, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association thought presenter America Ferrara was Jane The Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez.


“The @goldenglobes noms are about to start! @HereIsGina @ChloeGMoretz @ImAngelaBasset #DenisQuaid #Golden Globes,” HFPA tweeted. 


According to Page Six, Buzzfeed entertainment reporter Jarett Weiselman was the first to catch the mistake.




HFPA Confuses Gina Rodriguez and America Ferrara



“Yeah, that’s America Ferrera not Gina Rodriguez, official #GoldenGlobes Twitter account…”


I mean, it was 5:30 in the morning there, but still.


What’s worse, four minutes before that Tweet, they made the same mistake.


“.@HereIsGina is kicking off the @goldenglobes nominations announcements #GoldenGlobes.”


Oooof.


Rodriguez won a Golden Globe for her role in the CW series last year; she’s nominated again this year.
