Eddie Murphy Irritated by Arkin Winning

Eddie Murphy stormed out of the Oscars after losing the Best Supporting Actor award, it has been reported. When Alan Arkin was announced as the winner, the entire downstairs bar erupted into rapturous applause, but a short-tempered Eddie left shortly after with girlfriend Tracey Edmonds.

He snapped: "It's fine. It happens. It's OK." The 45-year-old's early departure resulted in him missing the performance of his 'Dreamgirls' co-stars Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé Knowles. He also missed Jennifer collecting her Best Supporting Actress prize and her tearful acceptance speech. Eddie reportedly arrived in an irritable mood, sucking on a lollipop and asking, "How do we know where we're going?" before eventually finding his seat.
