Jim Carrey/YMMV

Award Snub: As previously mentioned, despite considerable praise for his best roles from The Truman Show onward, Carrey has never been nominated for an Oscar.
Crazy Awesome: BIG TIME!
Fountain of Memes: My god. And how!
Hype Aversion/Hype Backlash: Since he shot to A-list status so fast in '94, aversion and backlash set in equally quickly.
Magnum Opus: Many feel that Liar Liar is his best-balanced movie.
- For his dramatic works, people tend to point towards The Truman Show.
Tom Hanks Syndrome: Half-example, since his more ambitious roles haven't yet paid off with the Academy and he still does a lot of comedies, not to mention that many of said ambitious roles leave room for him to incorporate humor. However, he won two Best Actor Golden Globe wins in a row (The Truman Show [Drama] and Man on the Moon [Comedy]) and declared himself "the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes!"
Unfortunate Implications: Of all the cast members of In Living Color, who were predominantly black, Jim Carrey has had the most successful career.
