Since the first Academy Awards presentation in 1929, the list of those performers who have won an Oscar remains tiny compared with the long list of those nominees who didn't win or those who weren't even nominated for important performances.

Here’s one of those films that you see on the Oscar ballot and just laugh out loud. And then just cry because it means you’ll have to watch it…
This was close to being the most painful film I had to watch thanks to my little quest this year. This film follows Norbit (Eddie Murphy), an orphan who doesn’t often speak up for himself and therefore gets suckered into an overpowering relationship with Rasputia (also Murphy), until he reunites with a girl from his past, fellow orphan Kate Thomas (Thandie Newton).
