It turns out an uncomfortable silence on stage wasn’t the only awkward moment Salma Hayek faced at the SAG Awards.
Salma Hayek has gracefully handled two awkward moments at the Screen Actors Guild Awards – one on stage and one in the bathroom.
The Mexican-American actress and producer was left standing in silence on stage when veteran actor Michael Keaton was late to accept his award on Monday.
“Are you kidding me? I have stage fright … come on, Michael,” Hayek called after a moment.
It turns out that wasn’t the only uncomfortable, yet funny, moment Hayek had to overcome to hand over the award.
In the bathroom before she was due to go on stage, Hayek’s glove got stuck to the crystal embellishments on Fran Drescher’s dress.
“I can’t even believe it, are you video taping this?” Drescher, who played Fran Fine in The Nanny, said in a video of the mishap, which was posted to Hayek’s Instagram on Wednesday.
“Oh my god, we’re stuck. You’re coming out on stage with me,” Hayek added.
Thankfully, an assistant was able to unhook the two actresses from one another.
Hayek captioned the video: “My glove got stuck on the great (Fran Drescher’s) dress, so I got stuck in the bathroom right before I had to present the award to (Michael Keaton) who was also stuck in the bathroom.”
It was a reference to Keaton who, once he made it on stage, blamed his tardiness on a “packed” bathroom.
“Sorry, quick trip to the men’s room,” the 70 year-old actor said at the beginning of his acceptance speech for outstanding performance by a male actor in a television movie or limited series.
It was a lighthearted start of what soon became an emotional speech, where he dedicated the gong to his nephew and sister, revealing through tears that he had lost his nephew to drug addiction.
