"I'm the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes!"
23 Jan 2000 by BCDavis
The 57th Annual Golden Globes found fierce competition for the Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical Motion Picture with Jim Carrey, Robert DeNiro, Rupert Everet, Hugh Grant and Sean Penn. But when it came down to "�and the winner is," Jim Carrey walked away with the trophy.Carrey has won two of the coveted awards in consecutive years. He won last year for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture for "The Truman Show."
Ironically enough, Jim asked why he won for best comedy, as he said to Dick Clark in a quick interview, "I thought I made a drama." Carreyholics agree, wondering why "Man on the Moon" was not nominated as a drama. Jim said during his acceptance speech that he could throw in a musical number, take it to Broadway, singing "You can't shoot a man with a gun! With a gun! With a gun!"
Carrey insisted that, "I really wasn't expecting it... I didn't, like, write anything..." (looking at the trophy in his hands and making a funny face) "But I'm doing okay!"
Jim Carrey will be taking some time off - about six months - from the movie making business to spend time with family and friends.
