Jim Carrey was nominated for major precursors for six of his films:
- The Mask (Golden Globe nod)
- Liar Liar (Golden Globe nod)
- The Truman Show (Golden Globe WIN)
- Man on the Moon (Golden Globe WIN; SAG nod)
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Golden Globe nod)
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Golden Globe nod; BAFTA nod)
And yet, he never got an Oscar nod.
If I had to guess which film was the closest he got to an Oscar nod, I would probably go with Man on the Moon.

My all-time favorite performance of his was as Abraham Lincoln in A Million Ways to Die in the West.

RIP to an all-time great. 🙁

April 1, 2022 at 5:55 pm #1204893528Given the standards I laid out above, here’s my personal opinion on what should be done regarding not just Smith but also the aforementioned expelled Academy members.
1) Since Carmine Caridi is now deceased and has no Oscar nominations to his name, nothing should be done regarding him. The rest should be rendered ineligible for Oscar consideration for appropriate periods of time.
2) Smith should have his Oscar revoked, given that his behavior occurred before he was formally awarded.
3) Harvey Weinstein should have all of his Oscar nominations/wins revoked.
4) Roman Polanski should have his nominations/wins for Tess and The Pianist revoked. The Academy should also consider revoking his nomination for Chinatown if the more recent allegations about him engaging in pedophilia as early as 1972 are substantiated.
5) As a bonus, Matt Damon should have all of his post-Good Will Hunting nominations revoked for his involvement in the media suppression the Weinstein scandal. He should also be banned from future Oscar consideration for an appropriate period of time.
6) As a further bonus, Russell Crowe should also be banned from future Oscar consideration for an appropriate period of time, for the same reason as Damon.
ReplyApril 1, 2022 at 5:30 pm #1204893500In my opinion, the Academy should revise its rules to where specific individuals can be rendered temporarily or permanently ineligible for future Oscar consideration.
If it were up to me, I would push for such sanctions under the following circumstances:
1) The individual was an active participant in a conspiracy to have someone admitted as a member of the Academy under false pretenses.
2) The individual was an active participant in a conspiracy to have a film become eligible for Oscar consideration under false pretenses.
3) The individual was an active participant in a conspiracy to undermine the Oscar voting process or otherwise bring it into disrepute.
4) The individual knowingly and willfully disrupted, undermined, or otherwise brought into disrepute any Academy-hosted event, including the Oscar ceremony itself.
5) The individual knowingly and willfully engaged in any form of abuse, discrimination, or harassment in the workplace.
6) The individual was convicted of a felony.
7) The individual was on the losing side of any civil or criminal case directly concerning either the Academy itself or one of its members.
8) The individual was involved in a conspiracy to circumvent an existing ban.

The bans can be retroactive, and if the individual was nominated for or won any Oscars during the retroactive ban period, those nominations/wins would be revoked.

If CODA had been discovered earlier, who else would’ve been nominated?
ReplyMarch 27, 2022 at 8:54 pm #120488386418 out of 23 right. I missed Picture, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Film Editing, and Animated Short.
Guess which film I predicted for all four of the feature categories I missed?

March 27, 2022 at 7:29 pm #1204882421I’m not convinced that was real.
March 27, 2022 at 6:05 am #1204878617You still have Animated Feature, Documentary Feature, International Film, and the shorts to post. Please update when you can. 🙂

ReplyMarch 27, 2022 at 4:37 am #1204878528Hi, Will from Cal. Two things.
First, what is your method?
And second, can you post your results for the creative categories?
ReplyMarch 21, 2022 at 9:15 pm #1204866024If it hasn’t already been done, can someone create a Google Doc to tab the results of the anonymous ballots? I remember someone doing such a thing last year, and it was really informative.
