But even that seemingly simple task went wrong as the group\u2019s Twitter feed became a string of bizarre and non-sensical pronouncements, including reportedly referring to <em>West Side Story<\/em> as a comedy before correcting the error.<\/p>\n<p>This elicited widespread social media mockery for the already beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization of pseudo-journalists and junket whores behind the Globes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>On Sunday, the official Golden Globes Twitter feed frequently omitted the titles of the movies or TV shows for the winners in the acting categories. Stars including Kate Winslet, Andrew Garfield, and Michael Keaton received congratulatory tweets that failed to mention what they won for. (In case you were wondering: HBO\u2019s <em>Mare of Easttown,<\/em> Netflix\u2019s <em>Tick, Tick\u2026 Boom!<\/em>, and Hulu\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Dopesick<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">They may be in movies made for the small screen, but these leading ladies are big stars.
