We have no problem stating that we believe that Eddie Murphy was screwed out of the Best Supporting Actor Award and that his performance as the Marvin Gaye inspired role was brilliant. We would even go as far as saying that we loved it so much that if Early got inducted into our Hall of Fame before Effie, we would be totally cool with that. Seriously, we thought he was that good.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Dreamgirls (2006)
Actors:
Eddie Murphy
Songs you might remember:
Cadillac Car
Jimmy Got Soul
Why you should vote for him:
This should have been an Oscar winner
Why you should not vote for him:
This was a Marvin Gaye knockoff.

The Jackson Decker Band

It only lasted thirteen episodes but the Jackson Decker Band was a big hit in the fictitious rock universe. The show “Live Through This” had the children of the band members urge them to do a comeback tour. Basically, this show ignored the rules of teen drama, that being that teens don’t want to watch their peers have parents who are cooler than they are.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Live Through This (2000-01)
Actors:
David Nerman (Keith Rooney, Bass)
Jennifer Dale (Annie Baker, Lead Singer)
Bruce Dinsmore (Rick Parsons, Drums)
Ron Lea (Drake Taylor, Lead Guitar)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Ummm…well, they sounded kind of like Heart.
Why you should not vote for them:
It only lasted thirteen episodes, and nobody remembers it.

Jackie Rogers Jr.

One of the more successful characters of Martin Short’s career (though hands down the creepiest), Jackie Rogers Jr. was an eccentric albino lounge singer who was a tad on the feminine side, but all the way on the extroverted side. His blonde dutch boy haircut was paired with either gold or silver outfits completed one of the funniest train wrecks you ever saw. As Martin Short was on both SCTV and Saturday Night Live, we have what we believe is the only nominee to have both those credits on the resume. Is this a huge asset on the ledger?
The Bullet Points:
TV Shows Appeared:
SCTV (1981-84)
Saturday Night Live (1985)
Actor:
Martin Short
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Martin Short was great here, and this is one of his best characters.
Why you should not vote for him:
This is a lounge act. No lounge act should be in a Hall of Fame, unless it is a lounge act HOF.

The Jack Frost Band was a Blues Cover band of nearly middle-aged men still hoping for a record deal. Led by Michael Keaton, (of course with the character name of Jack Frost), he perishes in a car accident when he is rushing to get back to his family. So what happens? He is reincarnated as a snowman. Now how was this greenlighted?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Jack Frost (1998)
Actors:
Michael Keaton
Mark Addy
Songs you might remember:
Frosty the Snowman
Why you should vote for them:
We do believe that Keaton would front a Blues Band. He looks the part.
Why you should not vote for him:
This was a horrible film.
