"While testing the official website of the Golden Globe Awards for Sunday's ceremony, Bluefin inadvertently took the test live," the unidentified spokesperson told Deadline. "We randomly selected two film titles with no knowledge of the category winners. We are solely responsible for the error."

The 72nd Golden Globes will air live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
