A really good question

I haven't seen "Dreamgirls" yet, and I will never see "Norbit", but, one New York Post writer, Lou Lumenick, is pondering a big question while talking about the ad campagn for "Norbit."

"Have you ever made a really big mistake?" The ads got changed. Presumably, somebody at Paramount belatedly realized people were thinking the mistake was made by Eddie Murphy, who may have lined his pockets with "Norbit" at the expense of winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for another of the studio's releases, "Dreamgirls."

As someone who despises Eddie Murphy and his endless fat suits and fart jokes, I say, it's a good question. A very good question indeed.

who gives an ef about the stupid oscars? they give those f'in things out like candy (jeez, 3 6 mafia got one!). eddie picked the oh so wise choice of lining his pockets - not getting an award will not make his performance any less noteworthy

Ahhh, interesting perspective. But, Oscar winner do get paid a lot more.

I don't quite get your question. Eddie Murphy is an ass. That's all I know. GET BRACES! And work on that donkey laugh. That's why he was cast in Shrek I bet, took one listen of that laugh...

The real question was did he fuck up his chances at an Oscar for the money he got doing an idiot movie like Norbit? He's a pimp.

Ooh, I get it. He's a dick but if they take him less seriously by looking at his body of work then that's stupid too. People don't win Oscars for "Generally being a good actor and picking decent movies". He ought to be judged on his performance only. Judging him as a person is what bloggers are for =)
