Countdown For The Oscars - Jim Carrey Look Back
27 Feb 2014 By Eva Araújo (Web correspondent)
Of all the award ceremonies, the most important ones happen right at the beginning of the year. The Oscars are considered the most important of them all since both the award and nominations are chosen by their own piers in the movies and entertainment industry.
Unfortunately Jim Carrey has never been nominated for one (and we sure hope so it can happen soon), yet, he has been at the ceremony four different times...
Next Sunday, March 2nd Jim will mark his fifth time as a presenter at the Oscars. No one entertains like Jim and he has certainly proven that through the years, making every change at presenting a performance on its own.
1996
In 1996 Jim went to the Oscar to present the Oscar for Cinematography to "Braveheart", initially playing with action figures from the "Toy Story" animated movie, he ends up cracking a laugh of all the audience by explain what cinematography is.
