Sacha Baron Cohen is the mastermind behind film pranks and antics, but now it seems the conservative academy is not a fan. Sacha is due to be attending this year’s Oscars on Sunday night for Hugo, one of the films up for the best picture award.

And more interestingly, do you think Sacha will take heed of the Academy’s warning or come in disguise anyway? More »
