Tongues are wagging about Eddie Murphy ditching the Academy Awards just after losing out on the Best Supporting Actor Award to Alan Arkin. But Eddie insists that he wasn’t being a sore loser (just a regular loser, I guess). Eddie’s rep says: “Eddie had always planned on leaving after his category was announced to spend the rest of the evening with his family,” says rep Arnold Robinson, adding, “He did the same thing following the Golden Globe Awards.” (Murphy did win at the Globes.) I’m not surprised that Eddie snuck out early. He had to go find the guy who decided to release Norbit while Academy members were still voting and beat him senseless. I’m sure while Jennifer Hudson was giving her moving acceptance speech, Eddie was in a production office somewhere trying to suffocate the Norbit publicity guy with a fat suit and yelling “you couldn’t have waited until after they voted for me??” Maybe Eddie can sculpt a little Oscar look-a-like out of gold plated dollar bills after his big, fat (yes, pun intended) Norbit payday. |
