Eddie Murphy did not like losing the Academy Award for best supporting actor to Alan Arkin Sunday night. He split the show — exit stage left! — as soon as Arkin’s name was announced.

To continue the Eddie Murphy allusion, there have been several posts from BD people who HAVE ACTUALLY SAID that if you don't buy a $500 player, you're not a true HD fan. And others have said that if you can't afford it, you need to get a better job so that you CAN afford it! ("...cause you are da welfare, and can't afford it! And his mother is an alcoholic. He didn't get none!") Need to get a better job just to buy a BD player? That is the pinnacle of arrogance!

Murphy soon started performing stand-up comedy at local clubs. According to Lyons, he was "making between $25 and $50 a week appearing in 'Gong Shows' at Long Island nightclubs where he was still too young to buy a drink." He was a less than dedicated student, and schoolwork took a back seat to his evening club dates. "My focus was my comedy," he explained in Time. "You could usually find me in the lunchroom trying out my routines on the kids to perform them in clubs later that night." His inattention to the books... caught up with him when he had to repeat the tenth grade.

Murphy has donated money to the AIDS Foundation, the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, various cancer charities and $100,000 to the Screen Actors' Guild's strike relief fund.[19] He ... reinvests heavily in his own organizations. In addition, toward the end of 2006, he and fellow Roosevelt High School alumnus Julius "Dr. J" Erving gave over $1 million to the ailing school district to assist with the continuation of the sports program.
