Eddie Murphy has revealed that he left the 2007 Academy Awards early not out of anger over losing the Best Supporting Actor award for Dreamgirls, but to avoid becoming the object of sympathy from fellow attendees. In a recent interview, the actor described feeling uncomfortable after losing to Alan Arkin and receiving consoling gestures, including one from Clint Eastwood. Murphy also shared that he had predicted Arkin's win months in advance.
