Jim Carrey Emotional Speech And Romance At CéSar Awards

Jim Carrey made a significant return to the public eye at the 51st César Awards held in Paris on February 26, 2026, where he received the prestigious Honorary César Award, a recognition akin to a lifetime achievement honor. During his emotional acceptance speech, Carrey expressed gratitude in French, stating, "Tonight, with this magnificent honor, this square has come full circle," referring to his ancestral roots in France. He also humorously remarked about his French language skills, saying, "So, how was my French? Almost mediocre, right?" This heartfelt moment resonated with the audience, earning him a standing ovation. The ceremony, which took place at the iconic L'Olympia, also recognized other talents, with Best Film awarded to 'L’attachement' and Best Actress to Léa Drucker for 'Case 137'. Carrey's return is particularly notable as he had largely retreated from Hollywood, focusing on painting and a quieter life, making this appearance a pivotal moment in his career (Geo Entertainment, BOL News, Washington Times).
