There is no doubt that Eddie Murphy is a living legend, and soon he’ll be recognized for the amazing career that he has had thus far, with a special award.
According to Deadline, Eddie Murphy has been announced as the recipient for the Lifetime Achievement Award for the upcoming Critics’ Choice Awards. The Critics’ Choice Association has also noted that Eddie is “the most commercially successful African-American actor in movie business history and one of the top-five box-office performers overall.”
Recently, he made his return to Saturday Night Live for the first time in 35 years and reprised some of his iconic roles such as Velvet Jones, Buckwheat and Gumby. His appearance gave the show its highest ratings in the last 2 ½ years.
Aside from being honored during this year’s award show, he is also nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Rudy Ray Moore in Netflix’s “Dolemite Is My Name.”
Many fans are also excited to see some of his upcoming projects. Earlier this year, he reprised his role as Prince Akeem in the sequel to the classic film “Coming To America,” which is expected to drop later on in 2020.
Congrats to Eddie Murphy on receiving such an honor.
