Sacha Baron Cohen Dumps ‘Kim Jong Il’s Ashes‘ on Ryan Seacrest’s Tuxedo on Oscars’ Red Carpet

Dictator and Borat Star Dumps Ashes on Ryan Seacrests Tuxedo on Oscar Red Carpet | Sacha Baron Cohen

 

(AP) Outfitted extravagantly in character, Sacha Baron Cohen ran amuck on the Oscars’ red carpet Sunday night and all over E! host Ryan Seacrest’s tuxedo.

After initially being dis-invited by the academy, Baron Cohen was allowed to attend the ceremony acting as the kind of Moammar Gadhafi parody he plays in his upcoming film, “The Dictator.” As expected, he brought his unique brand of publicity stunt and method comedy.

It came at Seacrest’s expense, though.

Flanked by two flower girls, he jokingly claimed to be carrying the ashes of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, whose face was displayed on the container.

In an interview with Seacrest, he claimed it was Jong Il’s dream “to be sprinkled over the red carpet and over Halle Berry’s chest.” Then, as Seacrest was bending down, he spilled the ashes over Seacrest’s tuxedo.

Few maintain calm on the red carpet more than the awards show veteran, but even Seacrest looked shaken as he attempted to dust himself off.

As security muscled Baron Cohen away, Seacrest attempted to cut to commercial, but his E! colleagues sought to milk the incident. It quickly became the most-chatted about topic on Twitter, where commentators eagerly lapped up the rare breach in decorum at the Academy Awards.

Said Seacrest: “Anything can happen and it most certainly did, all over my lapel.”

      Oh, yeah, that’s hilarious.
      Suppose he showed up to your daughter’s wedding and did this to the groom???
      How funny would your daughter think it was?

      These awards shows have degraded into nothing more that ego-stroke-fests with a smattering of extreme one-ups-manship (usually in bizarre costumes). Some people work hard to prepare for these events, only to have some desperate-for-attention media-whore show up and ruin it for everybody.
      IF, and that’s a big IF, you must pull a stunt like that, confetti would have sufficed. The stunt would have been carried out, and you would not have ruined other prople’s nights. It is only a self-centered, egotist that would think it was funny to assault people.

      Definitely NOT funny.

      Ryan Seacrest handled like a pro, though, as best as anyone could hope to handle it.

      Tom, he is not about to show up to your daughter’s wedding, is he. I mean, really. Is he?

      Unless invited, of course, and then he would be a wedding guest, not Admiral General whatever.

      He was in character and gave fair warning – which is why the academy said that they didn’t want “anything entertaining occurring at the awards” which celebrate the entertainment industry.

      The Admiral General (can’t be bothered to check the actual moniker) then congratulated the academy for limiting his free speech – as all proper dictators do – placing the ball firmly in the liberals court.

      So they caved and let him go.

      They were hoist by their own petard. And instead of you enjoying the moment of hilarious irony, you (and several others) get all grim faced and cross.

      It was funny.

      Relax and enjoy the joke!

      I liked the premise for the the punchline “who are you wearing?”. But one should respect others’ property. I can‘t stand Seacrest but he wasn’t in on the gag and his suit could have been ruined. Seacrest is being paid to do a job (as vacuous as that job is) and being presentable is part of that job. Cohen’s method acting style gets old quickly and his “comedy” is very grating. It’s not clever, it’s frat-boy level silliness, the equivalent of f@rt jokes and beer pong. I have no intention of seeing his films now or in the future. Had it been a set up I’d have bought the punchline, but by not including Seacrest in on the gag, it’s very crappy of Cohen and again…I can’t stand Seacrest. I‘m surprised Cohen doesn’t have a closer relationship with his dentist, these kinds of gags should get him in that chair often..once he’s recovered from the concussion.

    An entrepreneur or even a large well established corporation opening a new factory is really the same ideal of the philanthropy that a celebrity undertakes giving handouts to usually people in foreign nations. But a celebrity’s philanthropy helps the image of the celebrity and people think they are good people which helps keep people watching their movies. And lets face it, when Hollywood spends a lot of time making movies in foreign countries, handouts to foreign populations goes a long way. It seems to me though that philanthropy through the process of opening another company where people can earn an honest days wage does much more for a person’s spirit, over a dependence causing handout. The livelihood of a celebrity is the same as goodness turned on it’s head

      Really that’s why it very interesting that so many Americans completely waste their time learning a foreign language since their own language is foreign to them. If it isn’t important to be able to stay focused on the content of a subject in a complete sentence structure in your own language, then another language will become boring. Another language will become boring to you shortly after you feel as if you know it well enough to call it your own, and you will also lose a concept due to the lack of interest of a foreign language sentence structure. And you wonder why foreigners call Americans apes.

    “After initially being dis-invited by the academy, Baron Cohen was allowed to attend the ceremony…”

    This is the same left that wants all kids to get a trophy and not learn the meaning of losing and good sportsmanship or even not being able to play at all. I hope the left will learn something from this experience. Seacrest is the beneficiary of the academy’s wishy washy-ness…

    Well, ‘E’ asked for it as they had him as an interview. I watched it live and was waiting for the ‘punch’ from Sasha; as soon as I saw that ern, I knew where it was going. Oh, and I laughed.

    Always carry two jackets, Ryan. You never know when the Bisquick might be lurking. Too funny.

      Live by the sword, die by the sword. How many people has Seacrest helped to humiliate on national TV?
