Will Ferrell humorously voiced his frustration over his documentary "Will & Harper" not being nominated for an Oscar during an appearance on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert. The film, which follows Ferrell and his friend Harper Steele's transformative road trip after her coming out as transgender, had previously garnered critical acclaim, being named one of 2024's top five documentaries by the National Board of Review. Despite being shortlisted for two Oscars, the film ultimately received no nominations, leading to Ferrell's candid remarks and comedic ire towards the Academy.
In fact, I hope there's some of them here tonight. See, if you're a member of the doc branch - suck it!
It was beautiful, it was timely, it was heartfelt, I was inspired by it.
F-k the Academy. Say it!
Especially the doc branch, the doc branch of the Academy.
