Eddie Murphy as Rasputia Lattimore:
This was the movie that cost Murphy a deserved Oscar, so says popular media. His portrayal of a broken-down, drug-addled singer in the movie blockbuster Dreamgirls was devastatingly on-point and, for a rare occasion, showed a serious side of Murphy that a generation of theatergoers had never seen. Despite being riddled with holes by critics, Norbit earned an Oscar nomination for makeup and did very well at the box-office. It earned $160 million worldwide, including $100 million at the domestic box office.
