Jim Carrey at the 1997 Oscars
Jim Carrey was at the Oscars� as a presenter of the Visual Effects Award, and his appearance was undoubtedly one of the show�s best moments.

Carrey entered stage, walked to the microphone, stood there with his arms stretched on the "Liar Liar" poster�s pose and after a carefully timed moment said:

"And how was your weekend? ............. Mine was gooood."

It was a masterfully done innuendo to "Liar Liar"'s success at the weekend box-office that, just earlier in the day, Carrey learned had finished first, with a staggering official result of 31.4 million dollars for only three days and an average profit of 11.045 dollars per screen.
