Eminem is of course known for his rap but he also starred in a few movies. One of his most popular movies he starred in was '8 Mile' starring as 'Rabbit'. 'Lose Yourself'' was made about the movie which is now very well known. Eminem has received countless awards for his music. He won a MTV Europe Music Award each year from 1999-2004.
