Let me explain why I mentioned Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: you said Carrey was a bad actor, yet he was actually acclaimed for those 2 roles, so I was just curious what your thoughts on those performances were.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:31:58 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33460#33460 Did Jim Carrey really deserve to be nominated? : Conclusion: Carrey is a hit-or-miss... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33451#33451 Author: BurnHollywoodBurn

Conclusion: Carrey is a hit-or-miss actor, and his three "hits" of 1994 were dumb luck that may never be repeated...

The RAZZIES took down How The Grinch Stole Christmas in the Worst of 2000 Awards (more like Penalties, if you ask me). They nominated him for The Number 23 in the Worst of 2007. Among another bad movie or two, my classmates ate them up because Jim Carrey starred in them. I was among maybe 30 people who didn't particularly like either of them. Can any conclusions be drawn?]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:30:01 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33449#33449 Did Jim Carrey really deserve to be nominated? : Having had the unique and... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33448#33448 Author: saturnwatcher

Having had the unique and wonderful opportunity to become acquainted with Andy Kaufman, I didn't find anything compelling about Carrey's portrayal of him in Man on the Moon -- an okay, but altogether forgetable, movie about a very unforgetable human being.]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:38:45 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33448#33448 Did Jim Carrey really deserve to be nominated? : LOL -- I didn't think about... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33433#33433 Author: TaRaN-RoD

Sorry for my notice on Man on the Moon... xD

No, those movies are fine, but those aren't the movies he got nods for back in '94, and I thought that was the year we're talking about.

I'm 17 years old... And I'm pretty sure that in 30 years, I will still enjoy Jim Carrey's and Stallone's work, dude...

I have more to compare Jim Carrey to as a comedian and a comic actor. Copy this off, and store it away somewhere for, say 30 years. In that time, watch a lot of other comic actors, new and from past times, and objectively view how Jim Carrey stacks up. I'm guessing that your enthusiasm for him will have dwindled considerably by then.

I guess after becoming a celebrity by starring in three movies, where he played three of the most annoying characters possible ... that was too much for Razzie voters.

Do you really think he deserved to win "Worst New Star for 1994"? Sure his expressions were a little goofy and over the top but his characters WERE SUPPOSED TO BE goofy and over the top so I think it actually worked for him.]]> Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:55:38 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502&PID=33305#33305
