"Now that we&amp;#x27;ve determined the best dressed celebs at last night&amp;#x27;s Oscars, it&amp;#x27;s time to talk fashion disasters (and no, we don&amp;#x27;t mean J.Lo&amp;#x27;s almost-nip slip!). In case you missed Sacha Baron Cohen&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Dictator&amp;quot; making an impeccably dressed Ryan Seacrest cringe, we&amp;#x27;ve got it again for your viewing pleasure...The comic&amp;#x27;s latest provocative character is Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen, a Middle Eastern despot of the fictional Republic of Wadiya and star of his upcoming film The Dictator. And when the Academy threatened not to let him show up in costume, he issued an ultimatum on the Today Show: &amp;quot;Those gangsters at the Academy banned me...normally I would be impressed by an act of cowardice by a faceless regime. But this is personal&amp;amp;#133;they have until midday Sunday to give me my tickets back. If they do not they will see and face unforeseen and unimaginable consequences.&amp;quot; Lo and behold, the Academy came through and let Baron Cohen come dressed in character (in, according to him, &amp;quot;John Galliano&amp;quot;--a not-so-subtle reference to the designer&amp;#x27;s antisemitism), and red carpet host Ryan Seacrest ended up on the receiving end of his hilarious prank: &amp;quot;Now if somebody ask you what you are wearing, you will say Kim Jong Il.&amp;quot; Did you gals find this bit as hilarious as we did? Don&amp;#x27;t you just love how Ryan couldn&amp;#x27;t stop talking about it? Every celeb that approached him for the rest of the evening had to listen to him start with, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m a mess because of Sacha Baron Cohen...the Dictator got me...&amp;quot; Pretty funny, huh?
