Michael Keaton wins SAG Award while he’s in the bathroom

Salma Hayek was left stranded on stage at the SAG Awards Sunday after announcing Michael Keaton’s award for Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his work in Dopesick. Turns out, Keaton wasn’t even in the room. After several seconds of looking around, Hayek began to feel self conscious.

“Are you kidding me? I have stage fright,” Hayek said. “Come on, Michael. Come on Michael.”

Keaton came running into the room and rolled on stage, not even bothering with the stairs. But Keaton had a good reason for showing up late.

“Thank you very much,” Keaton said after taking the award from Hayek. “Sorry, quick trip to the men's room. It is packed, by the way.”

Keaton went on to deliver a moving acceptance speech, dedicating his win for Dopesick, which is about the opioid crisis in the United States, to his nephew who died of an overdose.

SALMA HAYEK: Are you kidding me?

[LAUGHTER]

I have stage fright. Come on, Michael! Come on, Michael.

KYLIE MAR: Keaton was so eager to accept his award and save Hayek that he didn't even bother with the stairs. And he had a good excuse for showing up late.
