Jim Carrey has won repeatedly nominations from the two major foreign press associations, with two Golden Satellite Award nominations and six nominations for Golden Globe Awards, winning two of the latter. He has been even more successful with MTV Movie Awards, with over 20 nominations and awards, some shared (as in the 1995 "Best Kiss" award shared with Lauren Holly). He has ... been nominated three times for Saturn Awards.

Jim Carrey’s publicist Marleah Leslie made a statement saying “Mr. Carrey has shared an enormous amount of success with UTA over the years for which he is truly grateful. It was a difficult decision to make, but he felt it was time to move on.”

Carrey moved on to the Capra-style rom-com The Majestic, directed by Frank Darabont, highly renowned for his Stephen King movies The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Here Jim played Peter Appleton, a blacklisted screenwriter who's called up before the House of Un-American Activities Committee in 1951. Involved in a car accident, he suffers amnesia and ends up in a small town where he's thought to be the MIA soldier son of former cinema owner Martin Landau. Not unlike the French hit The Return Of Martin Guerre, the movie sees the town and its people brought out of post-War depression by the arrival of a possible imposter and, as a devout hymn to America, you'd have thought it would be a major hit. It wasn't.

Carrey did win a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama and an MTV Movie Award for Best Male Performance. That same year, Carrey appeared as a fictionalized version of himself on the final episode of Garry Shandling's The Larry Sanders Show, making an impression by ripping deliberately into Shandling's character.

Carrey is not blaming the agency for the split. His publicist Marleah Leslie says, "Mr. Carrey has shared an enormous amount of success with UTA over the years for which he is truly grateful. It was a difficult decision to make, but he felt it was time to move on."
