The
Golden
Globes
took
place
on
January
10,
2022,
and
kick
starred
the
Hollywood
award
season
for
the
year.
The
event
took
place
without
a
host,
A-list
presenters
at
the
Beverly
Hilton
hotel
in
Los
Angeles
with
only
HFPA
members
in
attendance.

The
awards
ceremony
had
not
been
telecast
and
the
winners
were
announced
on
Twitter.
However,
despite
the
low
key
ceremony,
the
organizers
landed
in
trouble
when
a
congratulatory
tweet
called
the
winning
musical
West
Side
Story,
a
comedy.

The
tweet
read,
“If
laughter
is
the
best
medicine,
[West
Side
Story]
is
the
cure
for
what
ails
you.” Steven
Spielberg’s
West
Side
Story
which
is
a
musical
won
the
Best
Motion
Picture
for
a
Musical
or
Comedy.

Globes
2022
Complete
Winners
List:
Andrew
Garfield,
Will
Smith,
Nicole
Kidman
&
More
Win
Big

The
tweet
was
later
deleted
and
updated
where
the
“laughter”
was
replaced
with
“music”
and
mocked
themselves
for
the
bad
tweet
using
a
GIF
of
Hugh
Laurie
saying,
“Thank
you,
this
is
obviously
a
terrible
mix-up.”

Meanwhile,
netizens
had
been
mocking
the
controversy-riddled
Hollywood
Foreign
Press
Association
for
the
mix-up.
One
Twitter
user
wrote,
“This
tweet
is
the
funniest
thing
to
ever
happen
in
the
history
of
the
world.” Another
user
added,
“Even
the
Golden
Globes
tweet-bot
is
drunk
and
corrupt,
you’ve
got
to
respect
the
brand
consistency.”

Another
wrote,
“Even
the
Golden
Globes
tweet-bot
is
drunk
and
corrupt,
you’ve
got
to
respect
the
brand
consistency.”

more
tweets,

As
embarrassing
as
things
have
been
for
the
Golden
Globes
and
HFPA,
I
have
to
hand
it
to
them
for
somehow
amplifying
the
embarrassment
further
thanks
to
their
weird-ass
Twitter
feed
tonight.
