Sacha Baron Cohen’s Dictator Character Blasts Oscar Ban
February 24, 2012
With all the attention Sacha Baron Cohen’s Dictator is getting, you’d think the guy really was some sort of dangerous terrorist world leader.
The latest twist in the funnyman’s battle with the Oscars?
He released a video this morning to address the Academy’s refusal to allow him to appear on the red carpet as the Dictator.
But not just any video. He’s in full character as Admiral General Aladeen.
“On behalf of the nation of Wadiya, I am outraged at being banned from the Oscars by the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Zionists,” he says. “While I applaud the Academy for taking away my right to free speech, I warn you that if you do not lift your sanctions and give me my tickets back by 12 p.m. on Sunday, you will face unimaginable consequences.”
He then goes on to say that he paid Hilary Swank $2 million to be his date “and she will not refund a penny.”
SBC also pimps out his country’s “classic films,” including When Harry Kidnapped Sally, You’ve Got Mailbomb and Planet of the Rapes.
