Golden Globe honoree Eddie Murphy joked about Will Smith's infamous Oscars slap of Chris Rock while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Tuesday night's ceremony.
"I've been in show business for 46 years, and I've been in the movie business for 41 years, so this has been a long time in the making and greatly appreciated," Murphy said toward the end of his speech during the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.

He continued, "I've been doing this for a long time so I could literally stand up here and keep saying names until they play the piano, but I'm gonna wrap it up and just say something to all the new up-and-coming dreamers and artists that are in the room tonight. I wanna let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity and peace of mind."
