Baron Cohen Has Made His Point, But Will "The Dictator" be There?
Will Sacha
Baron Cohen upset the 2012 Oscar gala and the celebrities?
That seems to be the question on everyone’s mind this weekend rather than who
will be taking the prestigious award home in the prime categories.
Though Sacha was assured to be declared as a person
non-grata, if he turned up in the costume of Admiral General Aladeen of Wadiya
from his movie The Dictator, which resulted in strong protest from Sacha who
released a clip on the internet to register his protest, apparently the
organizers have sensed the public mood and sent him the entry passes.
Though the objection to Sacha Cohen’s appearance in the
now famous costume was officially declared as being “promotional” for his yet
to be released film, it is not difficult to see the huge global political fall
out and the repercussions in an already strained and thinly balanced international
relations, and the embarrassment the organizers are desperately trying to
avoid.
Whether Sacha will decide that his immediate aim has been
met in terms of gaining publicity and that taking things too far will only
eventually hurt his cause, is a matter to wait and see till the award night.
Apparently Sacha Cohen is not the only thorn in the
famous celebrity feet which will grace the famous red carpet tonight.
There is a widespread feeling that the Oscars, the
biggest and most anticipated and prestigious of awards, and the most watched
award ceremony itself are somehow ignoring the very aspects of the movies which
endear them to millions of viewers.
The case in
question is how Uggie,
a ten year old sweet doggy, who has stepped in to make “The Artist”, a silent
movie and hot contestant for the award in the best movie category, so much more
lovable to viewers around the world, is refused an attendance at the
prestigious night.
Apparently, more famous and
privileged invitees of a different species objected to the presence of Uggie
and the potential loss of camera focus on themselves due to the angle they will
be at to catch Uggie who will be closer to the floor level than they are!
However TMZ
Live has taken upon them the cause of Haggy and gave Uggie and his trainer
and Owner a touching slot on the show. The host Harvey Levin even made an
appeal to the Oscar hosts on behalf of Uggie.
A lot of people may not miss
Sacha if he didn’t turn up for the Oscar Night, but millions more will be
disappointed if they won’t be seeing Uggie steal the whole show.
