Jim Carrey was named President Donald Trump during a speech of thanks to the Los Angeles Britannia Awards, accusing Trump of being a ruthless trafficker and having "kidnapped children."
Carrey was one of six winners of the Beverly Hilton event Friday night, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"I'm glad it did not happen in the mail," Carrey joked about his prize, citing the many mail bombs sent to prominent Democratic figures in recent days. "Yes, I do not get any more parcels at home in the great America shaped in the last two years – I never remember that it's so great, actually."
After thanking BAFTA (British Academy of Television and Film Arts)) For its award for excellence in comedy, Carrey inspired silent movie star Charlie Chaplin before referring to Trump.
"We must be clear: immodesty is not and will never be a superpower." It is the mark of a villain. "Removing children is not what they do the big nations, "he said, referring to the Trump government's zero-tolerance policy on the separation of migrants. from their children on the US-Mexico border. "Half of America, at the present time, thinks that there is a deep and sinister state that is diabolically plotting to … what? Give them health care?"
About 2,600 children have been separated from their parents at the border, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.
"In America, we are misinformed," said Carrey. "The reality shows have distorted our reality of what is a hero or what is the truth." So tonight I would like to dedicate this prize to those who remind us of our virtues, who remind us of the truth. "
He then thanked Chaplin, accuser Brett Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford, Trump file author, Christopher Steele, Colin Kaepernick and actor Robert DeNiro.
He said that Chaplin had taken the right in his day, "against which we are fighting today."
Honored colleague Cate Blanchett also touched on the current divisional climate.
"Black, white, blue, red, it's like, oh my God, when are you going to just understand that we're all different, embrace that difference and go forward?", She said accepting a trophy named after director Stanley Kubrick. "We must recognize that we are all f —— up, and we all need forgiveness … turn around and give a hug to the person next to you."
The members present at the event then kissed each other.
Carrey, 56, has been sharply criticizing Trump in recent months. He recently launched artistic attacks against the president, drawing politically charged cartoons that mocked Trump and some members of his administration and posted them on social media.
One drawing depicts Trump as a wicked witch and another depicts the president bathing in what appears to be sewage, a metaphor for his politics.
The actor has received reactions from some who consider the work of art disrespectful and even shameful.
His critics on Trump apparently caught the attention of Cesar Sayoc, the man suspected of sending bombs to Democratic personalities earlier this week.
Sayoc reportedly used various Twitter accounts to threaten actors and politicians, including Carrey, filmmaker Ron Howard, financier George Soros and Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
