Bruce Almighty - Movie Awards And Nominations

Bruce Nolan (Carrey) was your typical television news reporter putting in his time with the hopes of being promoted to news anchor

. When Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) gets the promotion first, Bruce curses God (Morgan Freeman) and blames him for his entire life situation. Having heard enough complaining from Bruce, God decides to give Bruce a shot at being God while he takes a much needed vacation. Bruce gladly accepts the offer and goes right to work having fun and improving his personal life. After completing all of the essential tasks like increasing his girlfriend Grace's (Jennifer Aniston) breast size he quickly realizes that there are a lot of people needing his attention. When Bruce finally gets around to answering the increasing list of prayers, he finds out just how involved the job is. Bruce is more than happy to hand back to reigns to God who is glad that Bruce learned something through the process.
