I respect your opinion. To me though, Jim C. was "doing" all the things Kaufman "did" - BUT still being Jim C. He was not portraying Kaufman to me (it was Jim Carrey doing Andy Kaufman material). Watch some REAL Kaufman things here on YouTube. Then, watch a Man on the Moon clip seconds after. You'll see what I mean. Besides, Ed N. has more of that "are we supposed to laugh here?", sometimes dark humor, like Kaufman. Remember "Fight Club"? And, Ed looks more like Andy.

Yeah a guy claiming to be him will be holding a press conference.

I'm not really sure. I love both Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton and I'm sure they both would have done great jobs, but I love what Carrey did with the part. It's weird, but I doubt that anyone doing the role would have been accurate considering how little you can really nail down about Kaufman, but I think Jim's flavor was just right. His ability to act in a serious manner mixed with his solid comedic background puts him ahead of those other legends in my eyes for this role.

OK. I'm sure I'll get thumbs down for this, but, I'm prepared. The only good thing about this movie was that The great Andy Kaufman was remembered and paid homage to. I don't think Jim C. nailed him as much as everyone says. Jim was picked because he is a big name comedic actor. But, there were people that could have done an even better job. Ed Norton (think about it) & Kevin Spacey - who both auditioned. Just think about my comment after you read it, before I get all the hate mail folks.

Hahaha! Actually, he did misspell or made a grammatical error (whichever you want to use).The knuckle head wrote "it not" as opposed to "it's not" or "it is not". So, it's an inbred hick after all! :D

sad Jim Carrey did not win an oscar for his role, i doubt we will ever have anyone who could pull ANDY K. and his character as well as he did.Andy was different and all but man he did it HIS WAY !!!!!!!!! ALL THE WAY..... HE GOT TO BE HIM !!!!
