Best Supporting Actor?

Norbit, the new Eddie Murphy movie, opens in theaters nationwide today.

There is talk that Norbit could cost Murphy the best supporting actor Oscar for Dreamgirls. "Is this what a future Oscar winner looks like?" was the headline in the LA Times.

So releasing this film now could be a really big mistake for Eddie?

All I really know is that the film poster at right gives new meaning to the phrase "best supporting actor."
