Will Ferrell expresses frustration over Oscar snub for documentary 'Will & Harper'
Will Ferrell's documentary "Will & Harper" did not receive an Oscar nomination, which he humorously attributed to the documentary branch of the Academy. During an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," he expressed his frustration with the voters. The film follows Ferrell and his friend Harper Steele on a road trip to bond after Steele comes out as a trans woman. Despite the snub, Ferrell emphasized the film's purpose of friendship and understanding the trans experience. "Will & Harper" was shortlisted for an Oscar but did not make the final five nominees. The nominated films include "Black Box Diaries" and "Sugarcane."
