The Academy Grows A Pair, Sacha Baron Cohen Will Show Up At The Oscars As 'The Dictator'
Perhaps realizing that not having The Muppets perform their Best Song nomination, and relying on Cirque Du Soleil as the big centerpiece of entertainment (aside from handing out awards of course) on Sunday night, the Academy has relented on their ban -- sort of -- and allowed Sacha Baron Cohen to sh...
