E! Confuses Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer in Pre-Oscar Show (Photo)

I guess E! thinks all black people look-alike, because during last night’s pre-Oscar red carpet festivities the network mixed up two actresses who look nothing alike.

The mix-up occurred on “E! Live From the Red Carpet” when the network flashed “Viola Davis: Won’t Back Down” across the screen in front of an image of actress Octavia Spencer on the red carpet. (See Below)

E! did not publicly apologize for the mix-up.
