Will Ferrell recently addressed the Oscar snub for his popular project Will & Harper during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
In an amusing exchange with host Stephen Colbert, the 57-year-old actor was praised for his role in the 2024 documentary, with Colbert complimenting the film’s plot and Ferrell’s performance.
In response, Ferrell jokingly prompted Colbert, “Ask me if we got Oscar-nominated." Colbert, admiring the Netflix film, replied with a sarcastic question, “It was beautiful, it was timely, it was heartfelt, I was inspired by it. How was the Oscar nomination?”
Ferrell humorously responded, “We didn’t get it.” Colbert, sensing an opportunity for some fun, suggested, “Well, f*** those guys, right? F*** the Academy, say it!”
Ferrell, joining in on the banter, added, “Especially the doc branch, the doc branch of the Academy." He continued, “You don’t want to hang out with the doc branch. What a bunch of losers. In fact, I hope there’s some of them here tonight. See, if you’re a member of the doc branch — s*** it!”
Directed by Josh Greenbaum, Will & Harper premiered on January 22, 2024.
