"Watching Wayans announce the Golden Globe nominations was like living through one of those anxiety dreams where you're asked to fly a jumbo jet and realise that you don't know what any of the controls do. I won't list every mistake I wrote them all down and they filled a page but it was a firework display of ostentatious mispronunciation."
"In Wayans's mouth, Ludwig Goransson became Ludwig G Ronson. Hannah Einbinder became Hannah Eye Bender. Joel Edgerton became Joel Edd Gerton. Nouvelle Vague was pronounced to rhyme with plague. He accidentally called Sarah Silverman's comedy special Postmortem Postpartum. He had two cracks at Renate Reinsve and got both equally wrong. Some presenters might be able front their way through something like this, but not Wayans."
"Every time a foreign-sounding name appeared on the Teleprompter, the fear in his voice was palpable. When he had to read the Korean names behind the KPop Demon Hunters song Golden, he was so nervous that he somehow put a question mark after all of them. He said the name Joachim Trier like he was reading the bottom line of a Snellen chart. He visibly slumped in defeat before even attempting Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas."
Marlon Wayans repeatedly mispronounced nominees' names while announcing Golden Globe nominations, turning many names into caricatures. He produced numerous errors, including Ludwig Goransson as Ludwig G Ronson, Hannah Einbinder as Hannah Eye Bender, and Joel Edgerton as Joel Edd Gerton. Nouvelle Vague was made to rhyme with plague, and Sarah Silverman's special was called Postmortem Postpartum. He struggled with Renate Reinsve and hesitated over several foreign-sounding names, even placing question marks after Korean entries. Joachim Trier and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas were read with visible defeat and uncertainty. Skye P Marshall delivered her portion smoothly and accurately, creating a stark contrast.
