And for those who don't know, Carrey's remark "How was YOUR weekend?" referred to the fact that his movie Liar, Liar had just opened to big box office, which was seen as a career redemption for him after his prior film The Cable Guy flopped.
While it technically grossed more than its budget domestically, they did a lot of advertising for the film, which got mixed-at-best reviews. "Liar, Liar" was a much more popular film that also garnered better reviews.
It grossed more than its budget domestically, but the studios only get roughly half of a film's box-office gross. Worldwide The Cable Guy made 102 million... if we assume that the studio got roughly $51 million (which might be off in either direction by a few million dollars), and factor in the marketing budget (as you mentioned) on top of the movie's $47 million production budget, the film likely lost at least a few million for the studio. Everything is relative in the movie business, and perception factors into things perhaps more than it should, so while The Cable Guy was not a huge flop like say Ishtar or Heaven's Gate, it radically underperformed compared to Carrey's prior lead roles (starting with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective), all of which turned healthy profits relative to their budgets. I suspect that part of the over-reaction at the time to The Cable Guy's relative failure was because some people in the industry (and I'm including the media as part of the industry) weren't really sold on Carrey as a performer who would last as a box-office force, so when TCG didn't make money, it was easy for them to decide, "Ha, I KNEW he was a flash in the pan!" Also, The Cable Guy had a different tone than Carrey's previous work - it was a little darker and more unconventional - and the industry sometimes reacts with resentment when a movie star goes in a different direction. (And as I recall, the movie was advertised in a misleading way, as if the studio thought that it should give the film's potential audience the impression that it was going to see a standard Jim Carrey movie in order to get folks to the theaters.)
If they were based on merit,things would be a lot different: Denzel would have won for Malcolm X, Downey Jr should've won for Chaplin, Norton should've won for Primal Fear & American History X
They are partly based on merit, but of course favoritism does come into play. Downey and Washington were nominated for those movies in the same year, so it's doubtful they could've both won over Al pacino that year. My pick would have been Downey. :)
They were both Oscar worthy. All the performances I mentioned were, when you start to look at who they'd have been nominated with it becomes a different thing. Leo was Oscar worthy in WOWS, yet McConaughey deserved to win for Dallas Buyers that year
@@InterestingStuff888 This was the fifth year where Billy Crystal hosted. While the academy has asked Carrey several times to serve as emcee, he's chosen not to.
I've been trying to find this video for years! My dad told me he remembered watching Jim talk through his ass at an acceptance speech, and how funny it was, and I've been hellbent on finding the video ever since. Thanks for sharing!
Two Things: -1st The introduce by Jim Carrey is amazing, that happened when America and the world loved him. I really miss him :( -2nd What a year... those nominees are perfect
yes. a groundbreaking year. Just think about it, Abyss 1989, Back to The Future 2 1989, Total Recall 1990, Terminator 2 1991 (way ahead of its time), Jurassic Park 1993, toy story 1995, The Mask 1994. which were interesting and good. Then suddenly things like Twister and Independence Day. in 1997 (1996?). Few years later amazing works like Titanic, Armageddon, Matrix, Star Wars 1, Gladiator, Lord of The Rings. We see their effects to this day in mega productions, Transformers, 2012, etc. PS. I hope also you see a pattern with James Cameron movies. And what an amazing decade it was. Like no other.
Love the visual effects in "Dragonheart". Draco is still an amazing looking dragon even after over 20 years. Plus, "Twister" still gives me goosebumps, and it is a guilty pleasure.
0:41 No one enjoys attending the Academy Awards the way Kurt Russell does. It's a shame he has never been nominated for a major award, the Academy should consider bestowing a Life Achivement Award for his 58 year career, he's been active longer than recent recipients such as Donald Sutherland, Steve Martin and Jackie Chan, to name just a few.
In general, we see movies ten or fifteen years later and we realise: "Nowadays the visual effects in this movie are not so good as at that time" (with the exception of 2001 A Space Odyssey, which will never get age). But in general we see some movies years later and we have the sensation of age. About the Independence Day movie, there are about two or three scenes which were already like it at that time.
ID4 was meant as a throwback, so some of the effects were made to look an old fifties movie but with a modern sensibility. Also, the opening shot of the spaceships hovering was reminiscent of "V" the miniseries from 1983.
1.- Just three nominees? Wow. Times have really changed. 2.- We keep talking about ID4's music, but Dragonheart's "Into the Stars" is such a beautiful masterpiece. A proper choice to represent that movie. 3.- ID4s effects. Nuff said.
Me too! 2022 will be remembered for all the horrible reasons but I love Jim Carey and how he explained how he felt about the whole Rock/Smith thing. He then retired from acting . I think he’d had enough.
The man speaking first is the same man in Independence day who gets blown up in the building during the initial attacks. He's going through folders in a file cabinet.
Daughter did vfx on a couple of these movies and got praise for Black Panther scene called a Fn Rockstar by California Marvel top vfx guy when he saw her scene in Vancouver studio
I used to talk to Joe Viskosil on the phone a lot. Never met him in person though. He had a lot of trouble with his PC, and called for help with it. He was very bitter near the end over how CGI kind of killed his career.
Fun fact: Volker Engel (the one who makes the acceptance speech first) made a cameo in the movie. He's the guy that dies in an office when the building is engulfed by the firestorm.

"And how was your weekend...mine was good."
- I remember, Liar Liar just set a March opening record that weekend.
Jim Carrey goes on stage, and literally everyone in the audience is like "oh boy, we're in for a treat!" :D
JIM CARREY 🇵🇸

773SleepyHollow You were perfectly fine to say The Cable Guy flopped. Because it did and is generally regarded as such.
Thr Cable Guy is an underrated gem.
This guy should have at least 2 oscars for Truman Show and Man on the Moon
If they were based on merit,things would be a lot different: Denzel would have won for Malcolm X, Downey Jr should've won for Chaplin, Norton should've won for Primal Fear & American History X
I'm not saying those performances were better, it's just the Oscars are obviously political, but those performances clearly are Oscar worthy

Tomas Jamieson
: I would have given it to Tom Hanks for "Captain Phillips," who was shockingly omitted from the category.
It’s criminal that Jim Carrey has never won an Oscar nor hosted one.
@@Sweet_Child like bad bad. He definitely should’ve gotten best actor for Ace Ventura: when nature calls or the true man show
Totally
isn't he hosting here?
Truman show or I love Philip morris could have won for sure
@@InterestingStuff888 This was the fifth year where Billy Crystal hosted. While the academy has asked Carrey several times to serve as emcee, he's chosen not to.
1:18 Nic Cage is like "this guy... I like this guy."
They’re actually really good friends
They did a movie together in '86 and have been good friends since =)
John DiMaggio pretty sure they’re best friends lol.
Wonder who can overact the other...
Please have Jim Carrey host next year.
Jim used to be funny. He's not anymore
MoRo1333 Take your negativity else where.
NayNay Rivers
lol
NayNay Rivers It's true though.
0:10 - Show off.
Anybody can kill their worries by just looking at that face....he should get an oscar just for his existence.
Carey's opening line is because his latest movie "Liar, Liar" had opened to then-record numbers just a few days earlier.
I've been trying to find this video for years! My dad told me he remembered watching Jim talk through his ass at an acceptance speech, and how funny it was, and I've been hellbent on finding the video ever since. Thanks for sharing!

I came from the future, we still love Jim Carrey ❤
Every time Jim Carrey presents presents something Kurt Russel pisses himself laughing. i love that.
When visual effects didn't mean CGI.
No.
@@scottchaison1001 ye
@@scottchaison1001 YES
Twister great cgi on that time.
Lol
*Jim shows his ass*
*camera pans to Kevin Spacey*
Well then..
XD
_Look mom no cavities!_
RIP
🤣🤣
😂😝🤦♂️
Wow. How i miss these times. The amount of work they put into these movies. You can really feel it when you see them
When I watch Jim, I have an innate worrying feeling for him, he takes so many chances, luckily, most of them land, so he's good. Peace and love to Jim
Jim Carrey deserves an Oscar for his Existence
You'll get your Oscar when you fix this damn door!
Independence Day has great visual effects.
But now is a crap.
Now it’s crap
@@haiderzara5594So what? Most Oscar winning visual effects look dated years later. Besides, Independence Day deserved the Best Visual Effects Oscar.
As an Independence Day fan, I want to thank you for uploading this video.
Please have Jim host in 2019 ❤️
how not to love Jim Carrey.❤️❤️❤️❤️ his smile is indescribable.
Efeito especial Independence Day 🌹
Love the visual effects in "Dragonheart". Draco is still an amazing looking dragon even after over 20 years.
Plus, "Twister" still gives me goosebumps, and it is a guilty pleasure.
But they should also have nominated "Star Trek: First Contact."
Dragonheart should have won.

Oh my god, literally everyone were smiling when he entered smiling on the stage. They felt like finally something real funny moments will come

Great comedian and awesome host..
A thousand thanks for posting this.
Jim Carrey! The king at the Oscars!

Also funny fact: Will Smith announced Best Visual Effects the year before. Coincidence? ;)

We must protect Jim Carrey at all costs
I Hope they will reward him with at least a non-competative Oscar. He trully deserves one, no more than a single one.
I've missed him!
I love jim carrey the best actor I think his soul is beautiful but you know the good person don't live in this world
0:42 Kurt Russell always a fan

Wow 😮
It's true! I wonder why
Este tipo trasmite alegria con solo verlo, mis respeto y bendiciones por siempre al gran Jim 🙌🏼❤️
He’s so handsome, I love him 😍
I SAW A NIPPLE AT 0:18 !!!
Congratulations
Put that into your CV.
1.- Just three nominees? Wow. Times have really changed.
2.- We keep talking about ID4's music, but Dragonheart's "Into the Stars" is such a beautiful masterpiece. A proper choice to represent that movie.
3.- ID4s effects. Nuff said.

JIM CARREY 🇵🇸
born : 1962
R.I.P : 2024
I love how they seeth when he's onstage trying to get them to lighten up.
I love that Kurt Russell is one laughing the most in all these vids of Jim Carey
Rest in Peace Sean Connery.
When can Jim Carrey host the Academy Awards?
My nominations:
Dragonheart
Independence Day (TIED WINNER)
Mission: Impossible
Star Trek: First Contact
Twister (TIED WINNER)
I think Twister should've tied as well. I've never seen Dragonheart, so can't judge it.
Mission impossible has aged bad
Dragonheart should have won here
03:26 simpler times?
3:26 watching this after 2022 Oscars is really exciting😂😂 but damn this was 25 years ago 🥺😳😳
Me too! 2022 will be remembered for all the horrible reasons but I love Jim Carey and how he explained how he felt about the whole Rock/Smith thing. He then retired from acting . I think he’d had enough.
Great movies.. All 3..it's now 2021 and all off that it's gold
Independence Day ™️ should have won 🏆 Best Picture that year at the Oscars ™️!
I saw Independence Day stars Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, and The Nutty Professor actress Jada Pinkett Smith. Glad they're at the event.
He was so elegant in this suit, i like that purple shirt, wow❤
Nice Riddler reference Carry!
The man speaking first is the same man in Independence day who gets blown up in the building during the initial attacks. He's going through folders in a file cabinet.
God I miss the 90s...
JIM CARREY IS THE BEST:)
was

SAMANTHA SMITH he is fucked now after his GF topped himself. where will he find funny now?poor fucker...i love the guy!
@@roxybailey6302 ¿?
Damn it’s 23 years ago when I see it at cinema in Egypt 🇪🇬
Who watched this after Oscars 2022 and spotted Will Smith?
Jesus.....23 years.....where has it gone
Great stuff loved the first movie and Jim Carrey as always takes the show
Jim Carrey did a fantastic job acting in "The Cable Guy" in 1996. He shouldn't won an Oscar on that movie. : (
Daughter did vfx on a couple of these movies and got praise for Black Panther scene called a Fn Rockstar by California Marvel top vfx guy when he saw her scene in Vancouver studio
Jim Carrey is the Best
He’s still the best
A wee bit off topic, or a tangent, but I wonder if they could upload a clip from the 69th Academy Awards with Michael Flatley's performance.
Jim Carrey is a very rare talent.
Sir Jim Carrey had predicted in 1997 the repercussions of technology in the wrong Hand.
That man in the last seconds was so excited to speak too but they didn't let him speak. 4:12
Is that Jada Pickett with Will Smith? 3:26 that far back😲
And she looks like G.I. Jane here as well
For DragonHeart, they would have used motion capture now
Jim Carrey the actor of the actors
I scour the internet for these videos
When people like to watch presentor than the award winner speech.... It must be Jim Carrey
He truly is a genius
Look on Lauren Holly face ..right after they broke up
So handsome he should've been a better joker
O Jim tem uma carinha tão fofa amo o filme o mentiroso
LOVE Jim Carrey!!! I need to watch his movie The Truman Show, I bought it a couple weeks ago and I really need to see it!
