Golden Globes Awkward Moments: Teleprompter Breaks On Paul Rudd And Salma Hayek

While critics are largely declaring last night's Golden Globes a resounding success, it was not without its awkward moments, topped by Paul Rudd, 43, and Salma Hayek, 46, who got up on stage to present the award for Best Television Series, when the teleprompter failed to roll for them.

The two had just begun to introduce the category, with Hayek talking about the characters, saying, "They drink, they do drugs, they like they have a huge ego, and they are not to be trusted." Rudd then chimed in, "But uh, that's just their agents."

And then there was silence, with Rudd and Hayek staring awkwardly into the camera. Rudd attempted to use his comedic timing and natural charm to ad-lib through the accident. "Hello," he said, smiling shyly, after a long pause. "How's everybody doing? Good? All right, great," he said, and then the clips started to roll.
