Renowned actor Eddie Murphy has been honored with a spot at the NAACP Images Awards Hall of Fame.
In his acceptance speech aired by the BET Network Murphy was quoted saying, “I’ve been making movies for 40 years now... 40 years. This is the perfect thing to commemorate that and be brought into the hall of fame. Thank you very much. I’m very moved.” (sic)
For those unversed, the hall of fame only features men and women who pioneer their respective fields and mold the “profession for generations to come.”
