Eddie Murphy and Orlando Bloom

Eddie Murphy and Orlando Bloom

Eddie Murphy claimed he wasn't expecting to win at last night's Academy Awards, but he seemed mighty miffed when he didn't.

Us Magazine reports that the Dreamgirls star left the Oscar ceremony early in a huff after missing out of the Best Supporting Actor gong, which went to Little Miss Sunshine star Alan Arkin.

Murphy told the magazine, "It's fine. It happens. It's OK," before leaving the ceremony with girlfriend Tracey Edmonds, not staying to see fellow co-star Jennifer Hudson pick up the trophy for Best Supporting Actress.

Oscar lothario Orlando

Orlando Bloom turned on the charm at a pre-Oscars party and managed to chat up two stunning actresses.

Pirates of the Caribbean heartthrob Orlando flirted with both Penelope Cruz and Jaime Winstone at a pre-awards bash at Los Angeles' Soho House.

Lothario Orlando, 30, first worked his magic on Penelope, also 30.

"Orlando and Penelope flirted outrageously while playing pool," a source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper.

"Penelope seemed more than a little smitten and afterwards they retired to a corner for drinks - they couldn't keep their hands off each other."

After Penelope had left, Orlando turned his attention to British actor Ray Winstone's daughter, Jaime, 21.

The source added: "Orlando was talking to a pal when Jaime came over and gave his friend a hug. The actor immediately joked, 'Don't touch him - or you and I will never have kids.'

"Jaime loved the fact that he was so up front and soon Orlando had ditched his pal and taken her to the bar. Then they moved to another corner.

"They were cuddling and stroking each other's arms."

Orlando split with long-term girlfriend actress Kate Bosworth last year.

Last month, he and Penelope were rumoured to be dating after the pair celebrated Orlando's 30th birthday together.

Mirren's Oscar kiss

Dame Helen Mirren had to force her husband to give her a kiss when she won the Best Actress Oscar.

The 61-year-old actress won the award for her performance in The Queen but her director husband, Taylor Hackford, at first wouldn't give her congratulatory kiss because he didn't want to steal the limelight from her.
