Richard Curtis has voiced his disappointment that Will Ferrell was never nominated for an Oscar for his turn in the beloved Christmas movie Elf. The 65-year-old British screenwriter and director, who is behind box office hits such as Love Actually and Bridget Jones’ Diary, made his remarks to reporters at the Oscar Wilde Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday. “I always get very antsy about the fact that Will Ferrell didn’t get nominated for Elf,” Curtis said, according to BBC, when discussing the star’s portrayal as the ever optimistic Buddy The Elf in the 2003 flick.
