Sacha Baron Cohen is Banned from the Oscars 2012

Sacha Baron Cohen

Sacha Baron Cohen as 'The Dictator'


I am not sure if this is true, but it seems that the star the movie, The Dictator, has been banned from the 84th Academy Awards. Sacha Cohen Baron is one of the stars who were nominated for his role in Hugo by Paramount. However, since word has reached the Academy that he will dress up as the character in his upcoming film that is also under Paramount, the officers think that it is too much. They gave Baron Cohen the message that if he will assure them that he will come in formal attire, then they will release his tickets. If not, then he will be banned from attending this star-studded annual event.
