Jennifer Lopez is an awards season mainstay, which made her blunder during the 2026 Golden Globes all the more alarming to the people behind the scenes.
When the singer and actress, 56, presented the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category during the Sunday, January 11, broadcast, she nearly announced the winner before the nominees were introduced. Producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss addressed the mistake in a Monday, January 12, interview with Variety, confirming that they were as “nervous” as the audience in the moment.
“The funny thing is, people backstage near me were going, ‘Read the nominees! Read the nominees!’” Kirshner told the outlet. “And I said, ‘She’s done this before. I think she knows what she’s doing.’ But there’s always that moment.”
Weiss reiterated the faith they placed in Lopez while alluding to the crew’s stress over her close call.

“We love her. We’re so glad that she was there,” Weiss insisted. “And as Ricky said, she’s been experienced at this kind of thing, so we weren’t expecting that. And yes, that was definitely one of those moments where you’re like, ‘Come on, Jen, you know this.’ And as you said, the light bulb went on and we got to where we needed to go.”
Lopez presented solo during the awards show. Before the nominees were named for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, she nearly revealed the winner.
“So, let’s see who was the funniest or the most musical,” she told the audience at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles before briefly attempting to open the envelope. “But honestly, these were some of the most amazing performances of the year and I don’t know how they choose one. Good luck to all of you.”
Lopez then began opening the envelope again before realizing she hadn’t allowed the announcers to highlight all of the contenders yet and amending, “The nominees are …”
Timothée Chalamet ultimately prevailed in the category for his role in Marty Supreme, overcoming Blue Moon’s Ethan Hawke, Jay Kelly’s George Clooney, Bugonia’s Jesse Plemons, No Other Choice’s Lee Byung-hun and One Battle After Another’s Leonardo DiCaprio to secure his first Golden Globes win after five nominations throughout his career.
“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up,” Chalamet, 30, said in his acceptance speech. “Always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter.”
Lopez, for her part, didn’t seem too bothered by her mix-up, later sharing a clip of the moment via her Instagram account with the caption, “Congrats Timmy.”
