The awards picked a good year for their first live broadcast.
Oh dear Johnny Depp. The actor came off a little too much like Jack Sparrow on Friday, when he took to the stage at the Hollywood Film Awards. Introducing Mike Myers’ documentary Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, the actor appeared to be a little worse for wear, slurring many of his words. Of course it was all twitter could talk about, as the awards were being broadcast live for the first time that evening.

But director Mike Myers didn't seem to mind, backstage he told reporters that Depp’s intro was "very rock 'n roll, which is very appropriate for Shep Gordon." It all tops off a pretty rock 'n' roll week for Depp who on Thursday night jammed with Elvis Costello and Marcus Mumford during an intimate show in L.A.
