The internet was in stitches after rapper Snoop Dogg mispronounced Ben Affleck's surname while announcing the first half of the nominations for this year's Golden Globes.

Early Monday morning in Los Angeles, Hollywood Foreign Press President Helen Hoehner gave the rapper the stage, saying, “And now to help me announce the 79th Annual Golden Globe nominees, please welcome a special guest… Snoop Dogg.”


The "Gang Signs" rapper graced the press with his appearance donning Locs sunglasses and a red beanie with the word, "Murder Was The Case"—a nod to one of his hit songs—stitched across the front.

When it came to presenting some of the more difficult nominations with foreign names, he managed to pull it off–including the surnames of Belfast director, Kenneth Branaugh and The French Dispatch composer Alexandre Desplat.

He narrowly avoided butchering the names of Dune Director Denis Villeneuve–which became "Villeneuva"–and Belfast star Ciarán Hinds–which he pronounced as "Karan Hinds."

But what many people were cackling about was his mispronunciation of Ben Affleck–who was up for his performance in The Tender Bar.

When reading "Affleck," Snoop Dogg placed the wrong emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble but then quickly gave it another try followed by an apology.

The 50-year-old announced:

“Best Performer by an Actor in a Supporting Role: Ben Uhffleck… Ben Affleck. My fault… sorry about that, Ben.”

Take a listen.

The internet was here for Snoop Dogg's "high-performance art," as touted by Buzzfeed News.

NBC will not be broadcasting the 2022 Golden Globes as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been reforming its organization since April after experiencing fallout for a lack of diversity in their membership as well as "questionable standards and conduct."

In May, NBC stated despite believing the HFPA was committed to "meaningful reform," they were aware a "change of this magnitude takes time and work," adding they felt "strongly the HFPA needs time to do it right."

"As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
