Eddie Murphy is set to receive a Distinguished Artisan Award from the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards. The Coming 2 America actor will get this honor from his co-star Arsenio Hall. Four decades in the business have seen Murphy deliver a lot of hits from Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor, and Shrek. All that success comes with some deserved recognition from his peers. In a press release from the Guild, they point out that he’s the most commercially successful African-American actor in the history of the motion picture business. It would be hard to argue that fact from the dominance of the late 80s to the 90s in popular culture. Fans have loved seeing his career take on different dimensions in the ensuing decades as well. The 8th Annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards gets going virtually on Saturday, April 3rd. Check out what president Julie Socash had to say about Murphy’s accomplishments down below:
The Royal Family has always treasured family far beyond anything else. Even when surprised with a 30-year-old son and his…, as they say, moms. Take part in the Royal festivities on @primevideo March 5. pic.twitter.com/aNtKosjCt8
