Williams is nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for his work on the Hidden Figures soundtrack. Fences, meanwhile, is a different film — and another favorite in this year’s awards season — starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

Viewers immediately took to social media to call attention to former President George W. Bush‘s daughter’s gaffe and pointed out the racial undertones of her accidental title mash-up.

The 2017 Golden Globe Awards air on NBC on Sunday, January 8, at 8 p.m.
