Eternal Sunshine Wins Sci-Fi Award

Strange as it may seem, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has won the "Best Science Fiction Film" award at this year's 31st Annual Saturn Awards, presented by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

Now that I think about it, I suppose it could be considered for this award. Even though it was not sci-fi as most people know it (aliens, Star-Wars type movie) it still had an element of fantasy to it.

Brad Silberling, I'm sorry you did such a good job in this movie. Dreamworks, Paramount, Nickelodeon, Brad Silberling, why did you have to do such a good job? And Jim Carrey, if you weren't so good, I wouldn't be standing up here. I share this with you, Morgan, Valli, everybody! Thank you.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Jim Carrey On Oprah + Pictures

A different side, the side that everyone is used to seeing, was in full force today as Jim licked, joked around with, and entertained Oprah. Unlike a few nights ago on 60 Minutes (which I personally liked). Oprah had a huge cake brought out to congratulate him on becoming a US citizen. He was very touched.

He also talked about his eating habits, his life "Life is good, I am happy", and of course, Lemony Snicket. He said that he had a really good time with this one and that it was an honor to work with Meryl Streep.

Thanks to Oprah.com, here are a few quotes from the show:
Oprah: Is it true you're on a real health kick now?
Jim: You know, I live a monastic lifestyle. No, I do. I do live in extremes, basically. I go back and forth. Once every six months, I'll have a day where I eat more chocolate than has ever been consumed by a human being.

So what was it like for a critically acclaimed actress like Meryl Streep to work with a comedic genius like Jim Carrey?
Meryl: Well, you just try to swim as fast as you can to keep up. I mean, it's wild. And, you know, [there are] no stimulants. Don't need coffee. Don't eat anything. Just go to the set and plug in to Jim.
Jim: She loves to play, which is great. That's the thing about her. I was so excited about the fact that she comes [to the set] like a kid to the sandbox.

Jim Carrey says he had a great time playing multiple characters in the Lemony Snicket movie—one in particular.
"I really kind of loved Stephano," Jim says. "I mean, I loved all of them, but Stephano was just kind of a magical creation. He was the guy who thinks everyone tells him he looks like Antonio Banderas."

Review of Jim's Touching 60 Minutes Interview

First, in my personal opinion, I must say that I feel this to be one of Jim's best interviews. He is open, honest, and for one of the first times, he lets us into his world in a very personal way. I must say, "Thank you Jim, for sharing yourself with the world in such an intimate way." Jim Carrey said, "I was up until 3 a.m., I got very little sleep because I wasn't just gonna flail helplessly in front of the camera, you know? I wanted to focus on what I believe because I want to give the world the real thing."

Not only does he open up about his battles with depression, which millions of viewers can relate to, he also took us into his private screening room where he displays his costumes from his movies. Then we are wisked away to his his newly constructed "private place" where he can be spiritual and connect with God, get away from the world, and have quiet time. His outside private area resembles a porch with a bed-like place filled with pillows and candles. Even though it was raining during that part of the interview, it was still magical.

In referring to this spot Jim said, "This is my spot. This is the center of the universe. This is where I hang out with Buddha and Krishna and you know, all those guys. Jesus. I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian. I'm whatever you want me to be," says Carrey. "It all comes down to the same thing. You are either in a loving place, or you are in an unloving place. If you are with me right now, you cannot be unhappy. It’s not possible, just try." Jim also make several comments stating that he is happy with his spirituality. "You know, what the hell? What the hell? You know, whatever. I just want to be myself. You know," says Carrey. "And if that, what if I lose a few fringe people who can't go with the fact that there's other forces in the world, that's OK with me."

We got to see a side of Jim that is unlike any other. He has decided that he is happy with himself. "Just be in the moment. And live now. Because this is all there is. And enjoy now like a child. And be your authentic self," says Carrey.

In terms of his career, Jim said, "I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it," says Carrey. "When the opportunity arises, and I'm on the set. And I'll be there tomorrow. I'm not going to live it until I get there, and when I get there, I'm going to have a great time. I'm going to walk into the set and I'm going to go, 'Hey humans. How are you doing? Let's have fun. Let's play in the sandbox.'"

Jim also addresses his depression issues which many people may not have even known that he had. "I was on Prozac for a long time. It may have helped me out of a jam for a little bit, but people stay on it forever. I had to get off at a certain point because I realized that, you know, everything's just OK," says Carrey. "There are peaks, there are valleys. But they're all kind of carved and smoothed out, and it feels like a low level of despair you live in. Where you're not getting any answers, but you're living OK. And you can smile at the office. You know? But it's a low level of despair. You know? I rarely drink coffee. I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful."

After 13 years of following your career, I am yet once again inspired by your views on life and your beautiful soul. You know what Jim? You are right. Life is too beautiful. Thank you for reminding us all.

Jim Won at Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards

Jim won at this year's Kids Choice Awards, presented by Nickelodeon. He did not get slimed this year however, unlike last year's show. But he did try to climb up the rope used for reveiling who won the award.

Jim On Ellen's Show

Jim was wonderful on Ellen today! It was so exciting! He even had his daughter, Jane, there with him. She was sitting in the audience and Ellen talked to her for a bit & asked her since she is singing now if she would come sing on her show sometime. Jane seemed shy about it. :-)

Then Jim talked to Ellen about wanting a green Mustang bike when he was a kid. And a teacher of his had said that if you pray to the Virgin Mary, you will get what you want. So he prayed an promised to pray the Rosary everyday if he could have a green Mustang bike. 2 weeks later, he won one in a raffle that a friend had entered him in. So it was really cool that Ellen had him that bike there as well. She said that she had no idea about that story when she picked out the bike for Jim. Then he talked about ESOTSM, of course.


Jim's Wonderful Appearance On Letterman

Jim was super funny and entertaining last night on the David Letterman Show. He came out full of energy and dancing. He sat with Dave and they talked a bit about this and that and Jim said that he would love to do something that was completely original and had never been done on a talk show before. That would be, of course, not to talk at all. He said, "Imagine all these people who tune in to the show all across the country and we won't be talking! They will not know what is going on." So for about 3 minutes, Dave, the band, and Jim just sat there quiet and looking at each other.

Then when it came time for Jim to show the movie clip from Eternal Sunshine, he said he had to do something first to set up the clip. He called out a guy who works on Dave's show and he had this guy shave a fresh patch of his hair on top of his head. So then Jim leans forward and you see this rectangle patch of where his head was shaved. Then they took the clip and played it in the space on Jim's head where it was shaved. Like a little movie screen. It was a riot!

Dave then thanked Jim for coming out to New York to do the interview and Jim said, "Anytime I can come to self mutilate, I will."

Jim Carrey Presents @ 2004 Oscars

Wow! What an Oscar show! Jim presented to famed director and writer Blake Edwards. His best line when he presented the award is when Blake wanted Jim to hold his Oscar while he did his acceptence speech and Jim tried to hand it back to Blake and said, "No, they don't let me have these." LOL What a perfect statement!

The weird thing about this award that Jim presented, is that a friend of mine here in LA is Blake Edwards' houseman and assistant! So I have met Blake, grocery shopped with him and rode in Blake's car. He is a very nice man and he deserves this lifetime acheivement award more then people know! Congrats Blake and it was wonderful to see Jim there!

Doesn't Jim Carrey look nice with an Oscar ®?
