'Saving Private Ryan' is the film that will dominate the Oscars this year. It's a way, way out there front-runner. |
[Fortunately for Carrey's ego, most people did like his work.] 'Truman Show' was really well-reviewed, so at the end of the year, when all the critics groups start voting, it should do very well, ... Jim Carrey has a shot, even though he's a comedian. |
