Bruce Almighty - Movie Awards And Nominations

Bruce Nolan (Carrey) was your typical television news reporter putting in his time with the hopes of being promoted to news anchor. When Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) gets the promotion first, Bruce curses God (Morgan Freeman) and blames him for his entire life situation. Having heard enough complaining from Bruce, God decides to give Bruce a shot at being God while he takes a much needed vacation. Bruce gladly accepts the offer and goes right to work having fun and improving his personal life. After completing all of the essential tasks like increasing his girlfriend Grace's (Jennifer Aniston) breast size he quickly realizes that there are a lot of people needing his attention. When Bruce finally gets around to answering the increasing list of prayers, he finds out just how involved the job is. Bruce is more than happy to hand back to reigns to God who is glad that Bruce learned something through the process.

The movie Bruce Almighty had a fundamentally good message and a lot of laughs to go along with it. The nominations and awards received by Carrey, Freeman and the rest of the cast were many. Check out all of the film nominations and awards received by the cast and crew of Bruce Almighty.

The film was quite a success not only for Carrey and Freeman but for the entire cast and crew involved. Steve Carell would take a similar premise and spin it into his own hit comedy Evan Almighty which was released in 2007. Following the release of Bruce Almighty Carrey landed his best dramatic role to date in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where he played opposite Kate Winslet. The two provided a very intense and interesting on screen romance coupled with some amazing cinematography. Both Bruce Almightly and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are must see films.
