Is it true that Jim Carrey has never been nominated for an academy award?

Of course he was never nominated for his roles in the films you mentioned such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb & Dumber, and The Mask. Those performances were not Oscar worthy, but with a question about never receiving an Oscar, why would you fail to mention his extraordinary, Oscar worthy performances in 'Man on the Moon', 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', 'The Truman Show', or 'I Love Phillip Morris'?

Mary Keim The 4 dramatic roles I mentioned were not "stupid slapstick" nor were they overacted. He received critical acclaim for his performances in these roles, yet was not acknowledged by the Academy because of personality conflicts. The fact that he has been ignored has little to do with whether or not he turned in notable performances. If you don't play the game properly in Hollywood, you get boxed out. It is a closed, highly political industry.

While his comedies may not appeal to you, he turned in many other serious dramatic performances. It is fairly well known that he is not greatly loved in Hollywood and the fact that he was never nominated for his wonderfully nuanced, Oscar worthy performances in films such as 'Man on the Moon', 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', 'The Truman Show', or 'I Love Phillip Morris' bears that out.

Favorite movie of Carrey's is: The Majestic. Not a comedy but he was so good in it. I can watch it over and over!

In my opinion, one of the two unfunniest comedians I have ever come across (the other being Gervais). Having said that, I thought his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in Man On The Moon was sublime

AND that IS SO SAD BC I THINK he is a GOOD Actor. IJS.

I liked Liar Liar the best. Super funny! But he was also famous for his over-acting, which might make an AW inappropriate. But his acting in the Truman Show could've done it...

I too appreciate his talent. Well said Bill.

Actually had good performances in other movies, but his comedies are what made the money, and yes, I'm a fan

Very sad. He is extremely talented.

William Laughlin, I'm a fan of Jim Carrey's and I never knew anything about him not being liked in Hollywood. May I ask you please, why was Jim not liked in Hollywood?

Debra Prine Mitchell, I loved the Majestic! My overall hands down was The Grinch. They could not have picked a better person to play that role. Outstanding!

Alicia Szot, ask the pesky penguin to call me. I would find so much joy in that.

christina thatcher, precious penguin.

Jim Carrey is very talented and very funny. He plays a comedic role just as well as he plays a serious role. He was fantastic in The Majestic!

And rightly so. The most annoying actor ever.

Sorry, should be Golden Globe award. My wrong key.Murrel Lowry,

Your question was, has he ever been nominated for an academy award, not a Golden Glove award. As a result, the correct answer No, he has not. Your answer even confirms the big NO!

It didn't ask about an osacar

Was wrong. I liked tied the mask..

🎭 Remember, you cannot have comedy, without tragedy! 🎭 I ❤️ Jim Carey, both as a comedic and dramatic actor!

I loved A series of unfortunate events

Brad Johnston, ...what are you saying about us Americans? That was truly offensive!

Dario Gritti, it is Yes...he never did

Hollywood rarely acknowledges slapstick actors
