Wimp factor
Feb. 6, 2007
Can an Oscar be THAT important? Guess so, if the rumor mill is to be believed. Information on screenings of Eddie Murphy's new movie, "Norbit'" was withheld from myself and several other news outlets based in the metropolitan area. Even after calling publicists for the film from Dreamworks Pictures, no one called back to extend an invitation. Why?
The buzz is that Eddie's people want to limit the number of reviews, on the assumption that any bad press now would hurt his chances for votes for the Academy Award.
File this under the Oh Brother! category.
