Sacha Baron Red Carpert Stunt

You watched. And you wondered. Now those nagging questions from the red carpet and the Academy Awards show will be answered.
Who is "the Dictator"?
Sacha Baron Cohen may not have been an Oscar contender, but he did his best to commandeer the red carpet. The very method actor sparked buzz before the ceremony by asking to attend the event in character for his upcoming film "The Dictator," which is described as the "heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed." The "Hugo" actor got his wish, at least on the red carpet, appearing as the fictional Admiral General Aladeen in a white uniform and fake beard, carrying an urn that he said contained the ashes of the late North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il. The troublemaker then seemed to trip, dumping the ashes onto Ryan Seacrest. Cohen told the TV host, "If someone asks what you are wearing, tell them Kim Jong Il."
