Jenna Bush Hager suffered an awkward blunder while interviewing singer and actor Pharrell on the red carpet at the Golden Globes when -she mixed up the name of his movie with another film starring Oscar winner Denzel Washington. 

While speaking with Pharrell on the red carpet at the event, the 35-year-old mentioned his nomination for Hidden Figures, but awkwardly referred to the movie as 'Hidden Fences' having clearly mixed it up with Denzel's hit drama Fences. 

'So you're nominated for Hidden Fences,' Jenna said, prompting Pharrell to physically grimace, while she carried on with her question.

But while some reacted with humor, others went as far as to accuse Jenna's mistake of being slightly racist, because she confused two movies that have black actors in the leading roles. 

'She essentially collapsed two movies about black people (Hidden Figures and Fences) into one,' one user said.  

'The apple doesn't fall far from the bush,' another person said, suggestively referring to Jenna's father, former President George Bush. 

Earlier in the evening, Jenna looked happy and relaxed as she strutted her stuff on the carpet at the glittering award ceremony in Los Angeles.

Modeling a subtle smoky eye, she had her hair styled in lose waves and parted to one side.
