Snoop Dogg's hilarious gaffe during Golden Globes announcement

Snoop Dogg has sparked an hilarious reaction online with his very unique name pronunciations during the 2022 Golden Globes nominations announcement.

The rapper was tasked with reading out the categories during the event on Monday – including Best Supporting Actor nominee, Ben Affleck, whom he called "Been Afflay".

Quickly realising his mistake as the audience giggled, Snoop added: "Sorry, Ben Affleck, sorry for that Ben!"

However, it wasn't the end of his gaffes.

Snoop later pronounced fellow Best Supporting Actor nominee Ciarán Hinds as "Karen".

"Ca-ron, no sorry, Karen Hinds – work with me now!" he told the audience.

Later, he read out Best Director in a Motion Picture nominee Denis Villeneuve's name as "Denis Villain Uawver."

Snoop Dogg announcing the golden globes was more entertaining than the show itself

Belfast and The Power of the Dog led the pack of nominations in Monday's announcement.

Belfast – a black-and-white drama directed by Kenneth Branagh and set in his hometown during the tumultuous 1960s – picked up seven nominations, as did Jane Campion's 1920s western The Power of the Dog.

Branagh and Campion are competing for Best Director and Best Screenplay, while their movies are also nominated for Best Drama.

Meanwhile, Succession is the frontrunner in the TV categories, with five nods, while The Morning Show and Ted Lasso each collected four.

The release of the 2022 nominations follows months of controversy for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group of people who nominate and select winners for the annual Golden Globes.

In February, the Los Angeles Times did a bombshell deep dive into the "insular, improbably powerful group" and the mysterious identities of its 87 members, who often keep "low profiles". The revealing report found that although the group has some members of colour, there are no black members.

A large number of Hollywood publicists cut ties with the Association shortly after the investigation was published, as did broadcasters, including US network NBC, who traditionally screens the ceremony, sparking promises by the HFPA of a major shake-up.

In the announcement of nominations on Monday, newly-appointed HFPA president Helen Hoehne referenced the recent controversies and claimed they had spent the past eight months attempting to "be better".

The 2022 awards ceremony will be held on January 9.
