Surely beating Jack Nicholson warrants more than a couple shout-outs to his producers and agents? Backstage, when quizzed on jokes about his film career, Murphy snapped, ""Have I become that uncool?" No, Eddie, but it wouldn't hurt to write a few funny lines in case you get another crack at this speech thing at the Oscars. Or, there's always showing up in a fat suit...
