Sacha Baron Cohen Responds to Being Banned from the Oscars as THE DICTATOR

Humor Movie Sacha Baron Cohen Academy Awards Oscars about 12 years agoby Joey Paur

Earlier this week Sacha Baron Cohen was banned from he Oscars because they were afraid he would show up as Admiral General Aladeen, the character he plays in his upcoming film The Dictator. Today he released his response to the the "Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts And Zionists." They should have known that by banning him they were just throwing fuel on the fire. This ended up turning into a nice big bit of publicity for the film in the end. Do you think it was right of the Academy to ask Baron Cohen not to show up as Admiral General Aladeen at the Oscars? Watch the video and let us know!
