Eddie Murphy Storms Out After Losing Oscar

After failing to nab the award for Best Supporting Actor to Little Miss Sunshine’s Alan Arkin, Eddie Murphy tried to brush off the loss, saying, "It’s fine. It happens. It’s okay."

But clearly it wasn’t. Shortly thereafter Murphy, 45, and girlfriend Tracey Edmonds left the show in a huff and didn’t return. Thanks to the early exit, the actor didn’t see any of his Dreamgirls cast-mates perform and missed out on costar Jennifer Hudson’s win for Best Supporting Actress.

What shallow sore loser Murphy fails to realize is that he has received many millions of dollars in appreciation for his work, when most other actors can barely pay their bills. This year Academy Awards are more about freedom of speech, celebrating gays even over more talented nominees, women, black women, hard luck story black men, and the forgotten winners that only have a few years of life left and finally got an award, but this year it didn’t include an insanely wealthy and successful black man. Boo hoo.

Quit whining Murphy, and spend more time with your many kids.
