REPORT: SACHA BARON COHEN’S OSCAR OUTFIT BARRED, ACTOR WELCOME

Sacha Baron Cohen may not be banned from the Oscars after all.

The comic actor, who is in trouble with the Academy over rumors that he may show up on the red carpet as the title character from his upcoming movie “The Dictator,” may be allowed to attend the star-studded awards ceremony if he promises to show up only as himself, an Academy spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
