Will “Norbit” ruin Eddie Murphy’s chance at an Oscar?

Eddie Murphy is the odds-on favorite to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but now some Oscar voters might be changing their ballots because of Murphy’s ridiculous-looking new comedy, “Norbit.” According to the L.A. Times, the over-the-top “Norbit,” in which Murphy exploits racial stereotypes (and not just black ones) might not be a fitting follow-up to his “Dreamgirls” role. “Every time I pass that billboard, it makes me sick,” says an Oscar consultant. And worse yet, is the fact that “Norbit” is drawing fire from black activists who don’t understand why yet another black male comedian has to play yet another morbidly obese black woman.

What do you think?  Watch the trailer for “Norbit” below…
