It was a shock when Murphy lost Best Supporting Oscar in 2007, but he’s getting his due with the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille award.
Murphy says he cringes at some of his past jokes in comedy specials like “Delirious” and “Raw.”With Ratner swiftly booted from the Oscars, Murphy resigned in sympathy. While it generated controversy — one Academy member told Hollywood Reporter, at the time, “This is like a big middle finger to the Academy and to the industry” — the Murphy friend was impressed by the loyalty the actor showed Ratner, who had just directed him in the lackluster “Tower Heist.
“They had to pick people to honor who would make lesser stars and PR people say, ‘OK, if Eddie Murphy is going to the Globes, it’s ok for me and my stars to go.’ They know no one in Hollywood can resist awards!” said a Hollywood source. “One of the things that got [the HFPA] in real trouble was lack of diversity — anywhere. In their own ranks, in their honoree choices. They never used to nominate black shows or black actors. That’s known around town. So diversity was an issue.
Though he’d develop a taste for domestic splendor – “He visited me in Alpine, NJ, and then bought the nicest house in town,” his former “SNL” castmate Joe Piscopo told The Post — Murphy lived at home in Roosevelt during his first season of the NBC show. In no time at all, though, he took on the trappings of a star on the rise. “I remember going with Eddie to buy twin Jaguars,” Piscopo recalled. “Black for me and white for him. Another time, after Eddie broke big, we were driving around Paramus in his Rolls-Royce convertible, going to shopping mall. Everyone was calling out his name and ‘Party all the Time’ [Murphy’s hit 1985 song] came on the radio. It does not get any better.
