...then I realize that quoting Star Wars hasn't been uncool for at least a decade. That the semiotics of dorkdom have become wonderfully unclear, and that the teenage social world might be a tiny bit less stratified than it used to be. That things are so mixed up, a cool guy can become a matinee idol by pretending to be a nerd.

...turned in a snoozer of an acceptance speech for his supporting actor win as Dreamgirls' James "Thunder" Early. 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?"
