Will Ferrell expressed his disappointment when he didn’t get nominated, saying, “We didn’t make the cut.” Colbert then apologized and playfully swore about the Academy. In response, Ferrell added jokingly that “the documentary branch is particularly unappealing. I wouldn’t want to spend time with them – what a bunch of failures.
During the show, the actor from “You’re Cordially Invited” playfully jabbed at the individuals who chose the Best Documentary Feature nominees. He quipped, “I hope a few of you are here tonight. If you’re part of the documentary branch, consider this a nod to you.
