Eddie Murphy 'Norbits' his chance of an Oscar

Episode six and we're feeling fine! Each week I get the best and worst films on a particular theme and pit them against each other to see who comes out on top!

Back in 2007, Eddie Murphy was riding high on the success of a critically lauded supporting performance in Dreamgirls, and was a shoo in to win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars - that was until Norbit came along, supposedly scaring the Oscar voters away and scuppering his shot at the golden statuette. This is maybe too simplistic, but is there a kernel of truth? This weeks episode puts the two films up against each to see how whether Oscar voters were right to steer clear or whether they were overly harsh. Does Dreamgirls leave us feeling flat? Does Norbit hit all the right notes? Let’s find out!
