Will Ferrell tells Academy to 'suck it' after his doc Will & Harper gets snubbed by Oscar voters

Will Ferrell jokingly told the Academy to 'suck it' after his documentary 'Will & Harper' failed to receive any Oscar nominations: 'What a bunch of losers'

Will Ferrell did not pull any punches (but might have cracked a few jokes and a Saturday Night Live callback) when it came to addressing his documentary, Will & Harper, not getting any Oscar nominations. Ferrell jokingly telling the awards body to "suck it" feels particularly ironic given both his and Steele's past with the show as mentioned in the documentary, but also because it comes on the heels of the sketch comedy series' 50th anniversary special airing this weekend. Longtime fans of the show will recall Sean Connery, as played by Darrell Hammond, famously taunting Ferrell's Alex Trebek character to "suck it" during the beloved Celebrity Jeopardy sketches.
