Explaining why he was there, he said: "Well I have retired and I've got time on my hands now.

Ferguson said he thought the Oscars judges had made the right choices in picking 12 Years a Slave for best film and Matthew McConaughey as best leading actor.
"12 Years was a great movie," he said. "And Matthew McConaughey's performance in Dallas Buyers Club was sensational.
"So I think the awards were all correct."
