LOS ANGELES -- Adele Dazeem and Dick Poop, you have company. Please welcome ... Sheesha Ronan.

Golden Globe nominee Saoirse Ronan (Best Actress for Brooklyn) had her name Travoltafied early Thursday morning in Beverly Hills, when presenter Dennis Quaid mispronounced it as "Sheesha." (It's pronounced SIR-shah, roughly speaking).

It's been a rough few years for awards presenters, going back to John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem" moment at the 2014 Academy Awards show.

And while Idina Menzel and Saoirse Ronan are understandably butcher-able, there wasn't such a handy excuse for Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who last year called cinematographer Dick Pope "Dick Poop." Oops.

Welcome to the club, Sheesha! And good luck at the Golden Globes.
