Edward Regan Murphy (born April 3, 1961) is an American actor, comedian, and singer.
Murphy was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984. He has worked as a stand-up comedian and was ranked No. 10 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
In films, Murphy has received Golden Globe Award nominations for his performances in 48 Hrs., the Beverly Hills Cop series, Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, and Dolemite Is My Name. In 2007, he won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of soul singer James "Thunder" Early in Dreamgirls.
The much-derided Cats has won six prizes at the 40th Golden Raspberry Awards, which “honour” the worst in film each year. A live ceremony had been set to take place on Saturday, but was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Instead, organisers shared a video announcement on Monday and revealed musical Cats – mauled by critics for its use of visual effects – had the dubious honour of topping the table for most wins.
They included worst picture, worst supporting actor (James Corden), worst supporting actress (Rebel Wilson), worst screen combo (any two half-feline/half human hairballs), worst screenplay and worst director (Tom Hooper).
