VOTD: Sacha Baron Cohen Pours Ash On Ryan Seacrest At The Oscars

Travis Woods — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:54:17 +0000

Because it wouldn’t be Oscar night without a few desperate bids for shameless self-promotion, Sacha Baron Cohen did arrive to the Academy Awards telecast, as he was rumored to do, in full costume and character to promote his upcoming film, The Dictator. And the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences didn’t ban him after all, which led to a briefly funny bit in which Cohen poured ash all over perennial red carpet stooge Ryan Seacrest—which kind of makes the annoying Dictator schtick worth it. Watch a video of the confrontation below.

UPDATE: Pink is the New Blog has it that this was an obvious farce; which makes one even more annoyed at Cohen; still, enjoy the make believe moment of Seacrest getting owned on live TV.

Surrounded by two flower girls, “The Dictator” was jokingly carrying the “ashes” of deceased North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, and claimed it was Kim’s dream to someday be “to be sprinkled over the red carpet and over Halle Berry’s chest.” And before security could haul Cohen away, he promptly dumped most of the ash all over a visibly shaken Seacrest’s tuxedo. Check it out:

So, was Sacha Baron Cohen’s dictator schtick an annoying and mostly unfunny bout of shameless film promotion for a film that, quite frankly, looks terrible? Yes it was. But was it worth it just to see him annoy a tool like Ryan Seacrest? Yes. Yes, it was.

What do you think of the ash incident?

We all know that when Sacha Baron Cohen gets into character as one of his infamous alter ego’s he takes it very seriously. So, when I stumbled across an LATimes article highlighting his red carpet antics as fashion icon, Bruno I knew I had to add my two cents. Never afraid to push the limits Bruno treads the line of inappropriate and insanity with European ease. Follow me as I take a look at some of his most outrageous outfits, and try to find the hidden message behind them all!

So many looks that only Bruno can pull off, without getting arrested or beat up.

The red carpet at the Academy Awards is always a fashion mecca in terms of designers collaborating with the stars. But here we want to try and focus on the hype surrounding the films not just the fashion. Here are a few quotes from some of the actresses who are present at tonight’s ceremony.

Freida Pinto from Slumdog Millionaire spoke about how amazing it feels to be at the biggest event in American cinema. “This is the happiest moment ever, because all nine of us are here. It’s wonderful to have everyone back together in one big Slumdog family.” As for her thoughts on the film’s possible win for Best Picture she stated, “We’re not going to be thinking about that right now, because it’s really, really nerve-racking. Fingers crossed for whatever happens.”

Taraji P. Henson is nominated for Best Supporting Actress thanks to her role as Brad Pitt’s adoptive mother in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. She spoke about all the love she’s received from her acting peers during this past awards season:

“I’ve had so much support, since I got the call at 5:30 am. Rita Moreno called me. Halle Berry has been championing for me. She gave me the most beautiful bracelet with diamonds encrusted and on the back of it, it says Oscars 2009. The great James Earl Jones. Meryl Streep knows who I am! Hello, I’m her biggest fan! I just can’t believe the people that know about me.”

Amy Adams is a previous nominee who expressed her feelings about the possibility of walking up on stage and claiming the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Doubt.

“I’m almost leading towards the others so I don’t have to get up on stage. I suffer from stage fright and claustrophobia. I’m so cheering for everybody. Viola who I worked with, Penelope who I’ve gotten to know, and Taraji, Marisa are fantastic. I’m just so lucky to be here.”

Best Actress nominee for her performance in Doubt, Meryl Streep arrived with her daughter Louisa and stated, “I’m really glad she came with me. I need back up.”

On the success of Frost/Nixon:

“Its been amazing, the whole journey. It started in London as a play, then new york. People have been going mental for the film. Ron has done a magnificent job of making it. It offers something new to everyone. People who remember the interviews, the people who don’t – it’s a bit of a boxing match. Whether you remember or not, it’s a compelling story.” - Michael Sheen

On his Best Supporting Actor nomination for Tropic Thunder:

“I just knew it was a risky thing. Ben had it on his mind for a while. The threat assessment was quite high. ” – Robert Downey Jr.

On his Best Actor nomination for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button :

“I‘ve never been to the Kodak theatre. Literally hundreds and hundreds of people were needed to make this film. It’s also nice to check in with the other people who have been working hard this year, too. When I started, Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn were my idols. Just to be sitting in the same category as them is an honor.” – Brad Pitt

On his Best Actor nomination:

“I’ve been blessed, after fifteen years, to have a second chance. It’s good to be back in the game!” – Mickey Rourke

On his Best Actor nomination:

“I’m looking forward to my next job. I’m available! Every actor knows what every actor feels. We’re all in this together. Whoever walks up there, we’re happy for.” – Frank Langella
