Jim Carrey may be a regular in Studio 8H as Saturday Night Live’s Joe Biden. But there is one stage that the actor has never triumphantly walked across: the Oscars. Despite having been a presenter at the Academy Awards, Carrey has never been nominated for one. And the actor seemed to understand why.

With the 2018-19 awards season officially over, everyone’s attention is now focused on the 2019 awards season. But not Jim Carrey.

Carrey is anticipated to receive his first acting Emmy nod later this year for his work on the Showtime comedy series “Kidding,” but don’t expect him to quit everything to fiercely campaign for the award season. Carrey, who has turned up great comic and dramatic performances for decades but has seldom been an awards darling, recently spoke to Vanity Fair about his dissatisfaction with Oscar season and how campaigning is a game he just does not want to play.

“There’s a lot of monkey business that goes on around awards,” Carrey said. “[It’s a] gigantic clusterf**k… if you don’t show up to a certain dinner, you screw your chances and all those things. I’ve never been real good at playing that game.”

Carry also revealed that unless someone mentions it, he doesn’t think much about his work’s award-worthiness.

“The only time I’ve ever felt a twinge of something about an award or not getting nominated is whenever people tell me I should be,” he explained. “Like, really? Should I be disgruntled? I had a wonderful time and I met a bunch of people…isn’t that enough?”

The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey, became an unforeseen summer hit in 1998. Nonetheless, despite filmmaker Peter Weir’s (Dead Poets Society) track record, Carrey was not nominated for an Oscar for his critically lauded performance. To be honest, his portrayal of Truman Burbank was lighter in tone than most Oscar nominees.

However, some of Carrey’s works have received recognition. In 2000, the actor won a Golden Globe for his role as Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon”; he also garnered Golden Globe nominations for “The Truman Show” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” which is why his lack of an Oscar nomination that season was deemed a major snub. Other dramatic performances in “The Truman Show” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” won Carrey Golden Globe nods. The film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” even earned the actor his first and only BAFTA nomination. Fortunately, Carrey is only concerned with his profession and the relationships he forms on site.

Carrey may have made peace with the fact that he will never even be nominated for an Oscar. But, no sure, his supporters will continue to complain about how he has been repeatedly denied roles in films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Carrey debuted into Hollywood with a trio of blockbuster comedies long before he became a comedy legend. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber all established him as a hilarious force of nature. However, a few years later, he demonstrated that he was capable of far more than his manic comedic stylings implied.

First, Carrey’s cinematic persona took on a darker tone with The Cable Guy. Then he added some heart to his Golden Globe-nominated performance in the 1997 comedy Liar Liar. However, during the following several years, Carrey appeared to be bent on broadening his theatrical horizons with a larger range of productions.
