Everyone in Hollywood is costumed to media stunts from the comedian and controversial actor Sacha Baron Cohen. This time, Sacha announced that he will attend the Oscars wearing a dictator costume from his new and not yet released film "The Dictator"! The Academy has refused to give Sacha his ticket after this announcement as it banns attendees to walk the red carpet in anything but the formal wear. However, after a couple of days of media fanfare, Oscars telecast producer Brian Grazer announced that the Academy has approved on this stunt from the actor. Grazer explained that the reason for refusal in the first place is because Sacha might be part of the show and not just an attendee. He also added that the Academy does not wish for any acts that might cause confliction during the night. "The dictator" will be released in May 2012, and is about fictional dictator "Aladeen" who denies democracy in his country and that this character is a mixture of the late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and the Libyan president "killed by his own people" Moammar Al Qathafi.
