Comedic genius. It's all in the delivery. That's how you do it, "jerk" (guy who water pistol'd Tom Cruise).

Very happy with The Artist deservedly taking home three big ones as well.

Have only seen snippets of 'The Dictator' - but it looks much too broad-based a parody for my tastes.  And while I was never a fan of Borat or Bruno, I am really looking forward to seeing Sacha do Freddie Mercury, one of my all time favorite singers...

(Okay, I know this response is a *bit* off topic, but wanted to chime in....)

credit to Seacrest for taking it so well....

The Artist was great - if youre a film geek (like us) or a movie critic...

but if you're part of the average viewing public?

eh.

even though i absolutely adore him, he's very hit or miss. da ali g show, borat, and sweeney todd were all f ucking amazing. da ali g movie, bruno, and probably the dictator...not so much. he's funniest when he's trolling. even though the ryan seacrest bit was a little tacky, i thought it was hilarious given seacrest's reaction.

can't wait to see him do freddie. he's a very talented actor, just did some shitty roles in the past.

if you haven't seen da ali g show season 1 and 2...it might be the funniest thing HBO has EVER aired

as far as the Artist, i'm waiting for it to pop up on netflix (which i hear should happen fairly shortly)

Penn -

Come on - you're telling me that wasn't completely staged?

I didn't think so. What would Seacrest have to benefit from staging that? Plus, he really looked a loss for words after. He was trying to hold back. Such an angry little man who gets no respect.

Did watch Hugo tonight. Sacha's performance was just okay, but limited by script. I like most of his stuff, but not all.

I hope he continues to concentrate on acting. His reality stints are starting to wear off. He's made his dough and more and more people can recognize him now.

I thought what SBC did was on the brilliant side of things.   Not only was it funny (at least to some), it was a statement about Hollywood and awards plus he promoted his movie - all in one.

The fact that he picked Ryan Seacrest was especially interesting because if you've followed Ryan's career growth you would know that he really needed some ashes spilled on him.   He would have handled things much more graciously ten years ago.

SBC reminds me a lot of Andy Kaufman because he provokes about the same reaction in people.

i totally agree with james here

plaus given Baron's penchent for doing this kind of thing (eminem anyone?) theres really nothing to lead me to believe this was staged.

This guy is a genius!   Borat has to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Bruno, not so much.

the eminem bit was staged. seacrest, definitely not. since he's become so popular (and recognizable), he's turned his schlock to celebs. it's like punk'd but meaner and funny.

still wish he'd go undercover a bit more and troll the general public. he needs to create another character. bring out the fat suit!

Haha, I like that comment about the meaner version of Punk'd. It's a good way of describing it. I did feel a bit for Seacrest, 'cos it would be a downer on your evening, but I think he sort of just accepted that anything goes with Sacha Baron Cohen.

Agree that he's hit and miss. I hated The Ali G movie. Horrendous, but he bounced back massively.

You know, the cinema I was at lapped up The Artist, Pen. Not sure how the average punter perceives it, but once you get past the artsy aspect, it's just a great movie. I think most people let their guard down once the story grabs them. The box office take isn't great, so maybe it's not going down well. It'd be interesting to read some reports/analysis on it. But that is geeky!

While I liked Borat, I thought this stunt was extremely lame and inappropriate for the Academy Awards.  It was just a cheap publicity stunt for this movie and didn't belong at the Oscars.

Not a big fan of Bruno or Borat, but I can't wait to see him perform as Freddie Mercury.

And yes - it will be interesting to see him in Django Unchained.

I like some of his stuff, but I can't say I'm looking forward to watching him be Freddie Mercury.

I heard a rumour once that Steven Seagal was going to play Jimi Hendrix.
