Borat and Bruno star Sacha Baron Cohen has reportedly been given the bullet by Oscar producers, after he was initially announced as one of the folk who would be handing out gongs on the night.
According to The Irish Examiner, Cohen was apparently planning on presenting an award dressed as a pregnant Na'vi, knocked up by James Cameron. Oscar bigwigs then predictably shit themselves and pulled him from the schedule.
Now, James Cameron was asked about this and didn't seem to care (probably because his film has now crossed the $2.5 billion mark and he could buy and sell all our asses), telling E! "If they want to poke fun at 'Avatar' on Sunday, that's OK by me." *He then pushed a red button, destroying a large part of Cohen's hometown
*last bit may not be entirely true
