"’cause I don’t be winning stuff." - Eddie Murphy says in his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor for Dreamgirls at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Backstage, Murphy said he and his "Dreamgirls" castmates were as surprised as everyone else was that the film received a leading eight Oscar nominations — but not one for best picture.

"We got eight nominations, that was a great thing. We were happy about that," he said. "I was so happy to be nominated, I wasn't feeling disappointment about anything. I was caught off guard that we didn't get nominated for best picture but I've just been happy, nonstop happy."
