Eddie is a pathologically positive person. He\u2019s an Aries. He is not a sore loser. And he did not want to be the subject of people feeling bad for him. One after the other, people told him how terrible they felt. He was, like, \u2018I\u2019m out of here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Murphy walked out of the ceremony after Alan Arkin\u2019s (\u201cLittle Miss Sunshine\u201d) name was announced. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Melanie-Brown-daughter-09.jpg?w=681\" alt=\"The same year he was nominated for an Oscar, Murphy denied being the father of Mel B.'s daughter Angel (right).

Just as Oscars voting was heating up, two incidents distracted from the actor\u2019s excellent work in \u201cDreamgirls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One was the release of his lowbrow comedy \u201cNorbit\u201d \u2014 which managed a nine-percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and featured Murphy as a henpecked husband as well as the fat-suited wife who tormented him. \u201cEvery time I pass that billboard [for \u2018Norbit\u2019], it makes me sick,\u201d an Oscar consultant told the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-2007-feb-08-wk-norbit8-story.html\">LA Times<\/a> in February 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy, who was unavailable for comment, was also involved in a tabloid scandal at the time. Former Spice Girl Mel B had a public, whirlwind romance with the actor; but when the singer became pregnant, Murphy told a reporter: \u201cI don\u2019t know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/THE-NUTTY-PROFESSOR-Eddie-Murphy-06.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Murphy's repertoire includes &quot;Nutty Professor II: The Klumps,&quot; in which he played a wide array of characters.\" class=\"wp-image-25270832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/THE-NUTTY-PROFESSOR-Eddie-Murphy-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/THE-NUTTY-PROFESSOR-Eddie-Murphy-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/THE-NUTTY-PROFESSOR-Eddie-Murphy-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Murphy\u2019s repertoire includes \u201cNutty Professor II: The Klumps,\u201d in which he played a wide array of characters.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Universal<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A bitter paternity battle later played out, with a blood test indeed proving that he is the father of Mel B\u2019s daughter, Angel, now 15.

And now he deserves an award for his career overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nearly four years after the Academy snub, Murphy had a different kind of Oscars walkout. Director Brett Ratner (\u201cRush Hour,\u201d \u201cRed Dragon\u201d) had been brought in to direct the 2012 awards show and enlisted his pal Murphy to host.

A bit of a real-estate baron, he resides in a $20 million home the North Beverly Park neighborhood of Los Aneles \u2014 complete with a tennis court, sunken barbecue pit and underground vault \u2014 and blew $15 million on a Bahamian island called Rooster Cay. <\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/news\/eddie-murphy-deal-amazon-studios-1235071264\/\">Variety<\/a>, he signed a three-picture deal with Amazon in 2021 and is making a fourth \u201cBeverly Hills Cop\u201d movie for Netflix. Additionally, he is said to be in talks to play George Clinton in a biopic about the godfather of funk.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that, does he really need acknowledgment from the Golden Globes? <\/p>\n<p>While the award is clearly a serious honor and underscores a status that rising comic Leonard Ouzts described to The Post as \u201cbeing a skip and a stone\u2019s throw from Richard Pryor, in terms of comedic influence,\u201d you have to wonder whether or not receiving the DeMille is even a big deal for Murphy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if he cares about awards or not,\u201d said the friend. \u201cI think he cares about box office and about entertaining people.
