The Oscars!

Considering the situation behind his loss, I'd be upset too. It was his stupid decision to keep Norbit's release date when the production company wanted to push it back until after the Oscars.

Oh, and his date isn't his wife. He split from Nicole last year. His date is Tracey Edmonds, Babyface's ex-wife.

I'd say Norbit hurt him more than going on the talk show circuit. But imagine hearing that you're the lock for SA from the minute you were nominated. You're so excited and everything, only to be crushed. It may very well have been his ONLY chance at snagging an Oscar.

i enjoyed the oscars for the most part this year...

what i liked:

-Ellen was great as a host, my favorite parts were her handing martin scorcese a screen play and taking a myspace pic with clint eastwood..

-I was so happy that Jennifer Hudson won, but that wasn't a big surprise...

- the oscars always have a shocker and i didn't mind Alan Arkin beating Eddie Murphy...

-Ryan Gosling, Mark Walhberg, and Leo were great eye candy!!!

-Will Farrell's song was funny...

- MS finally winning a best director nom and Departed getting best picture, although i thought Babel might win...

What i didn't like;

- the show was way too long...

- there were too many filler things that could have been cut...

- Pan's Labrinyth losing Best Foreign Film...

- and the fact that last year i won the oscar poll at the party i was at, and this year i did horribly...

Don't be ashamed to come forward, you have nothing to be ashamed of; who should be ashamed is the pedophile that's molesting young boys. You may never know the boys you'd be saving by turning the freak in, but the feeling of knowing you were the one who stood up and put a stop to it should make you feel proud. He may not get charged with anything for doing what he did to you, but if he's doing it now or has done something to other young boys recently; you coming forward may give others that push and shot of confidence they need to come forward too.....

Wouldn't the commercials/Trailers still have been out for Norbit though even if it was pushed back? Either way in my opinion there still would of been controversey. Eddie should of stayed until j.hud won, then he should of left. :lol: He has every right to be pissed, why stay at an award show with people that just spit in your face??? Makes no sense to win every other award and then not win the oscar. Alan arkin will have other opportunities to be nominated, eddie being a comedian will more than likely not have another chance, thats what I am most pissed about.

If Eddie really did leave because he lost that's just being a sore loser and in my opinion shows that he doesn't have much class. I have yet to see Dreamgirls, so I can't say one way or the other if he was robbed of an Oscar, but even if he was robbed I guarantee you he wasn't the only one who felt that way and should have shown some respect for his castmates and stuck it out.

I agree about not complimenting his castmates. But thats for him to decide if he wants to stay or not. I would leave too, that show was so damn long. :lol: Plus Hollywood was never his scene anyway, he may have left anyway if he had won, probably not then and there but shortly after the show was over.

If anyone was robbed it was Jackie Earle Haley for Little Children. But He has six film critic awards for the film so I'm happy.

I've watched four of the five movies with the supporting actors. (Little Children, Dreamgirls, Little Miss Sunshine, & The Departed) Murphy was decent in Dreamgirls, but definitely not Oscar worthy. The Oscars are politics just like Emmy's and Globes. The are based on performance AND popularity and I think Murphy's cocky attitude and manDiva behaviour caused him to lose. J Hud in not so many words told Babs during the interview that he was arrogant.

Article

Eddie Murphy did not like losing the Academy Award for best supporting actor to Alan Arkin last night. He split the show — exit stage left! — as soon Arkin’s name was announced.

Murphy didn’t stay to see Jennifer Hudson win best supporting actress in "Dreamgirls" or his fellow castmates Hudson, Beyonce, Keith Robinson and Anoki Noni Rose perform the show’s nominated songs in a stellar staging by "Dreamgirls" director/writer Bill Condon, who wasn't an Oscar nominee.

That may have been the problem with "Dreamgirls" all along, as I’ve suggested before: Much as the movie depends on a song called “We Are A Family,” the cast could not be marketed that way. From the beginning, Murphy acted as a loner. He was the lone holdout at the Cannes Film Festival last year when 20 minutes of the movie was shown to distributors and press.

Eddie Murphy: what a sore loser! There were plenty of other nominees there who didn't win, but they didn't throw a hissy fit and walk out. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Jennifer Hudson: another dud choice for Best Supporting Actress. Cate Blanchett should have won another Oscar instead.

Jennifer Hudson: the Marissa Tomei of 2007. :lol::lol:

Al Gore won, and that's all I really cared about!

Not necessarily. Usually commercials don't come out until around two weeks before release unless it's a major film.

Question: Why is it wrong for Eddie to leave when he's clearly disappointed with the snub and perfectly okay for Peter O'Toole to mean mug the camera when Forest Whittaker won?

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
