I never cease to be amazed by how shallow, self centered and myopic some people can be. If I ever come close to forgetting… Eddie Murphy is there to remind us all. As you all know, Eddie Murphy was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars this year. A HUGE achievement by itself. Unfortunetly for Murphy, Alan Arkin (who was even better than Murphy this year) won the award.
It’s understandable for someone in Murphy’s place to feel disappointed, maybe even a bit upset… but according to reports, after losing the award, Murphy got up and left the awards, refusing to stay and support his cast mate, Hudson, and missed their musical performance and Hudson’s Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress. IMDB gives us this:
The 45-year-old tried to downplay his disappointment telling American publication Us Weekly, “It’s fine. It happens. It’s OK.” But shortly thereafter, Murphy and girlfriend Tracey Edmonds left the show and didn’t return. Murphy missed out on his Dreamgirls cast mates Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose performing songs from the film, as well as Hudson’s win for Best Supporting Actress.
What a total frigging jackass! You know what Murphy… I’m GLAD you lost now. How DARE you. You are honored by being given an Oscar nomination, there at the event where some of your other castmates are also nominated and performing, and yet you can’t bothered to be gracious enough to stay for the rest of the event and support those who helped you get nominated in the first place???? YOU ARE A JOKE Mr. Murphy.
