Sacha Baron Cohen, who's film, The Dictator is up for an Oscar on Sunday has rumors that he was planning on walking the red-carpet in full military garb of his character in the film.
Soon reports surfaced that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had banned the actor from even attending the ceremony on Sunday in Los Angeles prove to not be true - however he will be watched closely.
"We haven't banned him," the rep said. "We're just waiting to hear what he's going to do."
"We don't think it's appropriate" for Cohen to hit the event in costume, suggesting the star would be "hijacking" the red carpet to promote his film. "But his tickets haven't been pulled. We're waiting to hear back."
Should Sacha obey the rules of the Academy, or is he doing something like this just part of his shtick.
