Hollywood star Jim Carrey will be felicitated with the Honorary César at the 51st Cesar Awards ceremony, the organisers have announced.
The actor will receive the honour at the Olympia in Paris on February 27, 2026 in recognition of his remarkable career spanning stand-up, television, cinema, literature, and visual arts, the French Academy said in a statement posted on its official website.
The French Academy hailed the actor as “one of the most original voices in modern cinema.”
The actor, 63, is popular for his roles in comedic movies like The Mask (1994) and Dumb and Dumber (1994) as well as dramatic movies like The Truman Show (1998) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).
“His career is characterised by exceptional versatility: in film, he alternates between blockbusters and auteur films; on television, his moving and sensitive role in the Showtime series Kidding [2018] once again confirmed the breadth of his talent. Jim Carrey was also the subject of the Emmy Award-nominated documentary, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond [2018]. He has also established himself as a New York Times bestselling author of his novel, Memoirs and Misinformation, and is internationally recognised as a visual artiste, with several exhibitions and publications to his credit,” the academy said.
The organisation further said the actor’s work remains significant as it reminds “that the camera can be more than entertainment.”
“His career embodies a constant audacity, constantly pushing the boundaries of art and performance,” it added.
In the last edition, Julia Roberts was presented with the honour.
