Dear Golden Globes, Gina Rodriguez and America Ferrera Are Two Different People

D'oh! Add another awkward incident to the file of Celebrities Mistaken For Other Celebrities. The latest oopsie happened this morning during the 2016 Golden Globe Award nominations announcement, when "Jane the Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez was listed as one of the celebs reading off the nominees ... when it was really "Ugly Betty" alum America Ferrera. Well, we all make mistakes.

The gaffes were tweeted out by the official Golden Globe Awards account, and even copied to Gina Rodriguez, before being deleted. Here are two screenshots:

For the record, this is Gina Rodriguez:

It's always kinda sad, but also kinda funny, when these things happen. "Quantico" star Priyanka Chopra was recently confused with another Indian pageant winner and tweeted that "all brown people don't look the same." But it happens to ginger people, too: There was even a song made for Bryce Dallas Howard to let her emphasize "I Am Not Jessica Chastain," and "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner had to tweet to E! that she was not the red-headed actress they had identified on TV.

Hollywood just likes to cast spare celebs. For example, if (heaven forbid) something were to happen to Javier Bardem, they have Jeffrey Dean Morgan on standby. Same for Tom Hardy and Jai Courtney, etc.
