Maybe They Remembered "Best Defense"

So, since Eddie Murphy stormed out of the Oscars after losing out to Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor, does this mean we have 27 more “Klump” movies to look forward to?

Maybe Arkin was overdue the recognition and it just happened to be his time, Eddie, or is that too difficult for you to accept?

Let’s see – “The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter,” “Wait Until Dark,” “Catch-22,” “Freebie And The Bean,” “Edward Scissorhands” more recently, and those are only the few movies I can recall off the top of my head…Arkin has been doing good work playing a wide range of characters forever (and I know TV movies don’t really count here, but Arkin was fantastic in “The Defection of Simas Kudirka,” in the ‘70s, a movie which spoke volumes about the Nixon Administration, though it if had happened under Dubya, Kudirka would have been captured and tortured also.)

The photo in this post isn’t the only thing looking like an ass at this moment.

(Obligatory qualifier; this came from Fox, so be warned…I'll owe up if I have to).
