Here's Why This Old Clip Of Steve Carell And Will Ferrell At The 2006 Oscars Is Going Viral

In 2006, Steve Carell was starring in Little Miss Sunshine, and Will Ferrell came out in Talladega Nights. Both A+ films, IMO.

However, one thing most people may not remember is Steve Carell and Will Ferrell presenting the Oscar for makeup at the 78th Academy Awards:

The clip shared by the Oscars TikTok account has nearly 800,000 views, and if you watched, you know it's grabbing people's attention because the pair is in a full-face of terrible makeup!

Steve's inability to keep his eyes open with fake eyelashes is hysterical. Steve starts the presentation by saying, "Of all the tools an actor has in creating the perfect look for a part, none is more important than the skillful use of makeup."

"Makeup artists are the magicians of the movie industry. Transforming actors into gods and goddesses of perfect appearance through techniques handed down by the master practitioners of their craft over 5,000 years ago," added Will.

"The makeup artist's commitment to excellence is all-consuming, and we would not be who we are without them," adds Steve.

Will thanks Steve and then compliments how great he smells. Steve then tells Will his cologne is called "Pineapple Bliss."

After Steve keeps repeatedly struggling to keep his eyes open with his false eyelashes, he finally reads the winner: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

And the whole video is just another reason why 2006 Steve Carell and Will Ferrell were elite.
