Eddie Murphy sweeps awards show!

for his trio of performances in the comedy "Norbit,"

which once again saw him don latex and make-up to play

multiple characters, Paula Bustamante is reporting

on Yahoo News UK Feb. 23 rd.

Murphy was named worst actor for his role as the nerdy title character,

 worst supporting actor for playing a Chinese man and worst supporting

actress for playing an over weight woman.

The release of "Norbit" just prior to last year's Oscars was said

by some pundits to have hurt Murphy's chances of winning a best

supporting actor Academy Award for his role in "Dreamgirls."

The film was relentlessly savaged by critics across the United States,

with top reviewer Richard Roeper branding it "offensively bad."

The Los Angeles Times was even more scathing.

"Surely some humanitarian organization will recognize

the selflessness with which Murphy has taken three of the

movie's major roles, thus saving two other actors from a nasty

black mark on their resumes,"

the paper remarked acidly.

This year's Razzies were announced

at Santa Monica's Magicopolis center,

just one day ahead of the Oscars.

Congratulations, Eddie!
