Golden Globe best actor and actress: Carrey, Blanchett

Beverly Hills, California- The Associated Press

"The Truman Show" earned Jim Carrey an unusual award for best dramatic actor while co-star Ed Harris was named best motion picture supporting actor. The film's score also won a Globe.

Carrey is better known for comedy than the serious role he played in "The Truman Show" - a man who realizes his whole life has been a TV show. "Oh, what a shocker," he said. "I mean if you look back at some of my earlier dramatic work in films like "Earth Girls Are Easy" and "Once Bitten" I might have seen this coming, but I really wasn't expecting it," he said sarcastically, referring to some of his less successful films.
