Sacha Baron Cohen's Admiral General Aladeen Spills Kim Jong-Il's Ashes On Ryan Seacrest

After days of back and forth about whether or not Sacha Baron Cohen would be allowed to show up on the Oscars red carpet dressed as his character from "The Dictator," the comic appeared at the 84th annual Academy Awards in full dictatorial regalia -- and proceeded to prank E! red carpet host Ryan Seacrest.

Cohen -- who plays Admiral General Aladeen, a deposed North African dictator who comes to America, in the upcoming comedy -- walked the red carpet with two statuesque models before stopping to talk with Seacrest.

"I'm wearing John Galliano, but the socks are from K-Mart," Cohen quipped; he said he was holding an urn of "Kim Jong-Il's ashes." He then spilled the urn on a shocked Seacrest, before being whisked away by security.

As Seacrest told Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith after the Cohen interview, the urn was likely filled with powdered pancake mix.

Watch footage of Cohen's prank above.

Funny if it is at his own party. The Oscars is classy, there is no room for clowns like him.

Does this guy really think that this is funny? His 15 minutes are up.

Anything that involves Secrest being owned is excellent. I though this was priceless, everyone else well, sorry.

This man is not funny no matter what he does.....I saw that first movie he made and could not believe the nonsense that some people find funny...it was awful and so is he.

Gosh, I wish Cohen was as funny as he thinks he is. I just don't see it.

This was so funny, I like how when the security came to get him he kept spilling Kim Jong-Il's ashes and acting like it was out of his control : ) I also like his military hot girl bodyguards. General Aladeen is one crazy guy : )

Anyone else think that this was pre-arranged?

Now, THIS is offensive.
Ashes...and self-promotion to the nth degree...
and probably cause he's not as talented as he thinks he is.

I know, who does that Seacrest fellow think he is any ways?

Childish. Reminds me of Andy Kaufman, who could never come out of character.

[recovering Catholic]

09:24 PM on 02/28/2012

Kaufman was a genius. Cohen isn't even funny.

I thought it was great, about time the billion dollar man (Ryan Seacrest) got a like dirt on goodie to shoes.

Did anyone actually bother to see his last film? I recall when it went to DVD walking into a blockbuster, seeing half a dozen copies lined up on the wall and not one of those cases had the seal broken.
