    Dreamgirls, lost to Alan Arkin's Little Miss Sunshine. Murphy was great in that movie. Wish he'd do more stuff - maybe do some indie projects. Pryor was genius, and difficult. How good it is will all depend on the script.

    Yeah, if Pryor had gone through a fat phase, this would have been a natural.

    I think they should go younger with the actor; although there might not be a good choice. I don't think Godfrey, Nick Cannon or anyone else could pull Pryor off.
    EDIT: Would Chappelle be able to pull this off?

    Eddie will have to lose a lot of weight.

    I'm still convinced that the ads for Norbit cost him the Academy Award.
