Sacha Baron Cohen has always been known to push the envelope, and things were certainly no different when he took the stage at the 88th annual Academy Awards this past Sunday. Dressed as one of his most famous characters, Ali G, Baron Cohen shocked the Oscars crowd as he and actress Olivia Wilde presented the Best Picture nominee, Room. However, Sacha's appearance as Ali G wasn't even supposed to happen.
"I don't think the Academy is racist at all, but I think there is institutional racism here.""It's not intentional, but there needs to be affirmative action to get more people of color – Latinos and African Americans – in at every level of the industry, which they aren't. We're here in LA, with one of the biggest African American populations in America, and yet Hollywood is almost exclusively white."
