Will 'Bride Wars' be Anne Hathaway's 'Norbit'?

5 January 2009 11:28 PM, PST | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Photo: Paramount Pictures / 20th Century Fox I never saw Norbit and for that I am eternally grateful as I remember I was in Los Angeles for the 300, Zodiac and Wild Hogs press junkets and it was all anyone was talking about. How Eddie Murphy was going to lose his Oscar for Dreamgirls as a result of how bad the film was and blah, blah, blah... I was wide-eyed just taking it all in. I mean, how could a supposedly great performance in one movie be tainted by a bad movie? Murphy was nominated for his performance as James 'Thunder' Early in Dreamgirls, but didn't ultimately win, and many attributed it to Norbit as Alan Arkin took home the award in 2007 for Little Miss Sunshine. However, considering the film itself wasn't nominated for Best Picture is it any real surprise Murphy didn't end up winning? On top of that, are the Oscars really that petty?
