I just read this story about how, after losing the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor to Alan Arkin (who I’m pleased as hell won it), Eddie Murphy left “in a huff” with his girlfriend.
Oh please Eddie. You languish in obscurity, lending your voice to an animated donkey (amongst other things) and you basically played yourself in a movie musical and you’re pissed because some better actor won. Hell, if Arkin hadn’t won, then anyone else in the category would’ve beat you out – especially Mark Wahlberg.
So STFU and go back to making Shrek 3.

OMG, what a baby.
It’s not like he lost to someone shitty…he lost to Alan Arkin. Hello!
I agree, he needs to STFU, wring out his crying towel, and get over himself.
(While I find him generally hilarious, I’ve been bitter ever since he bailed on the SNL 25th Anniversary show)

No kidding!
I’m sorry, but if Scorsese deserved his directing Oscar, then Alan Arkin deserved his acting Oscar.
He bailed on the SNL thing?! What an ass.

Sadly, they did already make Shrek 3. I have no idea why .. but .. yeah. Justin Timberlake is in it. Run now.

Eddie Murphy might have had momentum on his side going into the Oscar race, but he has nobody to blame but himself for doing films like Norbit. Honestly, any buzz he had going for him was entirely obliterated when that film came out (mere weeks before the Oscars).
Also, he should be punished Sisyphean-style for the Shrek films. But that’s just my own personal bias.

Johnny, I think anyone who does a movie dressed up as a fat woman in a blubbering fat suit should be automatically disqualified for any kind of acting award. The fact that he did, what, like five of them or something means he shouldn’t even be in the building.
