Sacha Baron Cohen, the man behind reality-straddling characters like Borat and Bruno, now has a new character to unleash upon the world--General Aladeen of his new movie "The Dictator." So in true SBC fashion, he wants to show up at the Oscars in character. (Why is he even invited to the Oscars, you ask? He's in "Hugo," which is up for Best Picture.)
The Oscars were swift to ban his character, but not him. So Cohen responded to the banas Aladeen. It's basically now a Jenga tower of confusing meta-publicity for both sides, which was probably the goal anyway.
At this point nobody knows what he'll do, but if he pulls through, Cohen wouldn't be the first to execute a ridiculous stunt at an awards show red carpet. Hell, it won't even be his first time. Read on to see how General Aladeen would stack up against 12 past red carpet WTF moments.

Tripping balls and dressed in drag at the self-serious, uptight Oscars. Simply cannot be topped. But that didn't stop everyone else on this list from trying.

MTV's VMAs are a honeypot for ridiculous outfits, so to stand out one must call in the big guns. Or in this case, knives.
