New Golden Globe trophy design didn't prevent all winners from holding it wrong

Not all makeovers go according to plan.

The brand-new Golden Globe trophy design made its official debut Sunday at the 76th annual ceremony, but it seems not everybody got the memo about how to hold it properly.

According to the announcement about the redesign by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., this year's bigger, heavier and more ergonomically sound trophy was meant "to ensure that winners do not obstruct the golden globe when holding the award."

The new design also made sure the HFPA logo was more prominently placed to increase its visibility from the stage.

Alas, it seems the new cylindrical base did not always keep everyone from gripping the trophy in a way that would not block the view of the globe or the logo.
