Elgort was sweating bullets because the names if the nominees in that category were difficult to pronounce and he was worried he'd pull a John Travolta and flub them.  The only one of the nominated film with easy names to pronounce? Interstellar — which ultimately won.

For comparison's sake, Elgort showed Jimmy Fallon the names of the Interstellar team: Paul Franklin, Andrew Lockley, Ian Hunter and Scott Fisher. The Guardians team wasn't as straightforward: Stephane Ceretti, Nicolas Aithadi, Jonathan Fawkner and Paul Corbould.

Watch Elgort spell it all out below.
