While the red-carpet mistake was immediately corrected, social media didn’t hide its fascination with the error.
There’s no movie called « Hidden Fences » nominated at Sunday night’s Oscars, but that hasn’t stopped numerous reporters from mangling it.
Jenna Bush Hager started the string of « Hidden Fences » errors back in January when she mixed up » Fences » and » Hidden Figures » at the Golden Globes. Later that night, award presenter Michael Keaton made the same mistake while presenting the best supporting actress award.
And Sunday night at the Oscars, Jess Cagle , editorial director for People and Entertainment Weekly, also made the error, which he quickly corrected.
