Jim Carrey's Hilarious Acceptance Speech Entrance | Britannia Awards

and now it is my great honor to present the Charlie Chaplin Brittania Award for Excellence in Comedy to Jim Carrey, my hero. Wow, thank you very much, that was very convincing. I approve of all this illusory manifestation. I'm glad it didn't show up in the mail it sort of worked it worked maybe a little early it's my job to try ok sorry yes I no longer get packages delivered to my house and the Great America that has been formed in the last years. I never remember it. Being that great, I want to express my sincere gratitude to BAFTA for this immense honor.

Charlie Chaplin was truly an artistic and humanitarian hero to me. He grew up in extreme poverty. His father was absent. His mother entered a nursing home when he was 14 years old. My fault, I'm sorry, is quite poignant now, but that kind of pain turns some people, as we've seen lately, into monsters and others into sources of creativity. Chaplin alkalized his pain and turned it into art, exquisite and timeless healing art. Very few people know that the characters are funny. walking was because he had worn out the soles of his shoes, it hurt him and he was trying to avoid the blisters, he was trying to stay away, you know, without empathy like that, this character would never have existed without empathy, neither will we and with In the times moderns criticized capitalism without conscience and that is what we have now, we have capitalism without conscience, so he showed the common man being fed through the gears of the brutal and dehumanizing industrial age that faced the American right of his time, his worst evils. of immigrants contempt for the truth greed and abuse of power we are fighting those same evils today in the United States in the United Kingdom throughout the world and we must be clear shamelessness is not and will never be a superpower, it is the brand of a villain Kidnapping children is not what great nations do.

Nearly half of America right now believes there is a deep, sinister state that is diabolically conspiring to give them healthcare. What is the sinister plan here? Surely I can afford the left restless leg syndrome miracle drug I have to take. the pills I guess in the United States we are misinformed. Reality TV has warped our idea of ​​what a hero is or what the truth is, so tonight I would like to dedicate this award to those who remind us of our virtues, who remind us of the truth. Sir Charles Chaplin, who fought McCarthyism to exile - Christopher Steel, who tried to pluck a thorn from the paw of an ungrateful Beast - Kristinb Lassie Ford - Colin Kapernick will represent the anthem when the anthem represents him and one of my friends, my good friends and one of the greatest artists of our time, Robert De Niro, whose life was also threatened this week along with many other incredibly decent people who bring joy to the world and who have dedicated themselves to it for years and decades, how they dare?

We tarnish those people, how dare they? We can do better than this. I know this wasn't funny, but it's not very funny right now and I want it to be and I will be again, but damn, let's get our balance back. Okay, in November. recover the balance thank you very much this is a tremendous honor thank you peter farrelly who is responsible for some of the great moments of my life thank you to my daughter Jane who is my tether to this world and everything valuable in it thank you Jeff For being here , John Rigney, one of my oldest friends, Dan Aloni, my agent, thank you all.

I love you so much and feel so honored to be included among these recipients. I can not believe it.
