[Music] the nominees for Best Performance by an actor in a motion picture drama are Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, Stephen Fry Wilde, Tom Hanks Saving Private Ryan, Ian McKellen gods and monsters, and Nick Nolte in affliction.
And the winner is Jim Carrey! [Applause] Gami, this is serious. It's gonna be so hard to talk out of my ass after this, but I'll manage. I'll manage. Oh, what a shocker. I mean, if you look back at some of my earlier dramatic work in films like *Earth Girls Are Easy* and *Once Bitten*, you might have seen this coming, but, but I really wasn't expecting it. And boy, you know what this means, don't you? I'm a shoo-in for the blockbuster award. Oh yeah.
Gosh, we're always start. I'd like to thank Sherry Lansing and Paramount Pictures. Thank you so much for having faith, so much faith in this. Josh Scott Rudin for having wonderful taste in material. Andrew Niccol for creating a beautiful paranoid prophecy. Especially Peter Weir. Thank you, Peter, so much. Thank you for allowing me to play Truman Burbank, for seeing more in me than just funny faces. And I got to tell you that, you know, the way you work and your youthful exuberance, your love of storytelling really inspires everyone in your path. And I hope, pray that we get to do it again sometime soon.
And I'd like to thank my business team, headed by Jimmy Miller, Eric Gould, and Nick Stevens. I'd like to thank my family, especially my beautiful daughter Jane, my mother and father, and [Applause]. And the Academy? No, I mean, I'm sorry, I was thinking of something else. And no, thank you very much, Hollywood Foreign Press. I will really love this. I'll enjoy it so much, right down to the chewy chocolate center. Thank you.
