About 20 minutes after Alan Arkin won the Best Supporting Actor prize at the Oscar ceremony on Sunday night, I noticed Eddie Murphy was no longer in the front row. I leaned over to Brent and said, "How much you wanna bet he's already left?"
Sure enough, ungracious in defeat, Murphy left in a huff, proving exactly why the Academy bypassed his name on their ballots.
According to his publicist, Murphy's early departure "was planned."
