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.

He's awesome and everything but it just wasn't funny you know? Sure play the character, but don't spill stuff on people.

This attention-seeking nonsense he keeps pulling is insane. I'm purposefully not seeing this movie now. I never thought he was funny, never will.

I never liked Borat. I thought he was great in Sweey Todd and Hugo...but this little "stunt" he pulled at the Oscars was ridiculous. There is a difference between being funny and just being a jerk. First off, the Oscars is the biggest night in Hollywood. It is the classic, black tie, pretty dress event that honors the best films and actors of the year....they politely said they would be fine with him coming supporting the film Hugo in a suit, but to not "promote" his new film The Dictator. He showed up as the Dictator...not surprising....spilling Kim John II's ashes on Ryan Seacrest...HORRIBLE! I usually don't care for Ryan but I seriously felt awful for him. Ruined his outfit, ruined the spirit....very unprofessional Sasha.
MARTIN SCORSESE SHOULD HAVE WON BEST DIRECTOR!

As much as I really can't stand Seacrest, I can't stand Sacha Baron Cohen even more.. even I thought it was in bad taste. He should have been escorted off the property after that prank. What a jerk.

Agreed. Perhaps people despise Seacrest so much, they find this humorous. I found it to be in poor taste--it just wasn't the event for sophomoric antics.
