Hollywood refrused to allow Sacha Baran Cohen to attend the Oscars in character. Why, because the character of choice is the one in his soon to be released movie, Dictator. Here is his response.
It reminds of this fantastic Sid Ceasar sketch.
Unfortunately the end of the sketch has been cut off. What is missing is that Sid Ceasar, the German General, was getting dressed for his morning stint as the hotel doorman.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s humor is not politically correct. If instead of mocking an arab dictator he was mocking conservative Christians in America, he would be embraced by hollywood. The good thing is that Cohen’s movie will now be getting so much more publicity.
