Jim Carrey leads the laughter with internal monologue at MTV Movie Awards
Jim Carrey brought his usual boyish charm to the proceedings when he accepted the best comedic performance honour at this year's star-studded MTV movie awards for his appearance in Yes Man.
Expressing surprise as his name was announced by Will Ferrell and Danny McBride, the Canadian funnyman kept the humour coming with a playful twist on the traditional acceptance speech. Rather than addressing the crowd from the podium, Jim used a pre-recorded internal monologue to share his 'inner thoughts'.
As the 47-year-old accompanied the spoken words with expressive facial movements, the audience were in stitches at what they heard. "I went totally blank. I'd written a funny speech but I couldn't remember what it was," Jim's recording said. "I was choking in front of the world, in front of my peers, in front of the good looking kid from Twilight."
It was one of many mentions for the man of the moment, Robert Pattinson. The 23-year-old British heartthrob picked up the award for breakthrough male performance, best fight with Twilight co-star Cam Gigandet and best kiss with his leading lady, Kristen Stewart. The hit vampire saga was also named the best movie.
But Jim wasn’t the only comedian to bring out the laughter. Sasha Baron Cohen making an outrageous entrance, appearing as his alter-ego, Bruno. The 37-year-old hit the red carpet in a leopard T-shirt with matching leopard briefs. Once inside, Bruno – one of many characters for the British funnyman - flew above the crowd in oversized wings, turning and tumbling in the air.
