Sacha Baron Cohen has been banned from traversing the Oscar red carpet as his character in his new movie, The Dictator. The Academy, apparently, feels it would be undignified. I agree, which is exactly why I wish they'd let him do it.
Dear Sacha Baron Cohen: I’m a fan.
The older gents of cinematic might
Have all forbidden us the viewing right
Of witnessing indignity. The man
You play is banned from walking down the aisle,
And I suppose, if you would do it, true,
So many followers would do it, too,
For their upcoming features, but a smile
At the mocking pomp and circumstance
Of gentlemen in suits is lacking here.
For even rodeos have need of cheer
From clowns in spotted vests and baggy pants,
And you're one better, for you bring astride
The pomp, a certain laughter, dignified.
