The 51-year-old actor looked confused and got distracted by the double microphone as he came on stage to present the documentary award for 'Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon', about Hollywood's renowned talent manager.
"That's the weirdest microphone I ever saw in my life," Depp said as he started fiddling with the mic, much to the amusement of the celebrity crowd.
"I'm not very good at this type of thing," he confessed as he proceeded to read the tribute speech from the teleprompter.
Depp then opted for his own speech with: 'I've been very, very lucky to have him in my life. He is someone I consider a great friend, an incredibly loyal friend. So you have to watch the film!"
