Beauty site's Oscars tweet mixes up Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah, and people are livid
LatestAs we count down to the 88th Academy Awards, stars are walking the red carpet in their Oscars finest. Whoopi Goldberg, in an off-the shoulder gown, showed off a tattoo. She was also wearing an excellent octopus ring.
In other words, Whoopi Goldberg certainly stands out on the red carpet. But Total Beauty, a site that “brings you expert advice, beauty samples & deals, how-to tips & tricks, and thousands of unbiased product reviews,” confused her with someone else.
Oprah. (That is not Oprah.)
Keep in mind that this year, distressingly few nominations went to non-white people.
The tweet did not go unnoticed:
It’s going to be a long night.
