Previous winners of the accolade include UN weapons inspector Hans Blix and US academic Noam Chomsky.
Talking about the award, Ferrell told RTE: "Hans and I hang out all the time.
"It's really not that weird for me. He said, 'I've got a feeling you're going to get the same award I got' and he was right."
