What happens when Whoopi Goldberg accidentally gets named Oprah Winfrey at the 2016 Oscars? Well, the media mogul laughs it off, of course. Oprah's longtime BFF, Gayle King, posted an Instagram of her looking at her phone and reacting to an outlet naming her as an arrival on the red carpet for tonight's 88th Academy Awards by mistake.
Gayle captioned the candid post, "@Oprah & favorite daughter watching #Oscars & seeing @totalbeauty snafu! We all love @whoopigoldberg but we don't all look alike Jeeeze!"
The former TV veteran has yet to weigh in on the matter herself, but really now, her face says it all!
We're glad to see Oprah had a good sense of humor about the mix-up, and she's been live-tweeting the awards show all throughout the night.
In fact, shortly after Chris Rock's zinger-filled opener, Oprah gave him a special shout-out, saying, "@ChrisRock now you breathe!"
