Sacha Baron Cohen who plays Kazakhstani TV Journalist Borat in his movie mockumentary that pokes fun at politically incorrect Americans has received several threatening messages before he appears at tomorrows Golden Globe awards.

The star has upset a few groups in the US who don?t get his satirical humour. Studio bosses have been forced to hire armed minders who will keep a close watch on him and his Australian fianc?e Isla Fisher while they negotiate the red carpet.

Baron Cohen is nominated for two Golden Globes and is odds on favourite to win the award for best comedy actor. We hope he wins them both, jagshemash!

I don’t know what anybody see in him. I sure wouldn’t vote for him.

kathy, that’s because you’re from the US, and he’s exposing severe cultural problems that you have over there ;)

Cultural problems exist all over the world. Compared to places in the Middle East and elsewhere, I’d say America’s ”severe” problems look pretty tame. As for Borat, he’s just dang funny. It’s that simple.

Sasha Baron Cohen is an amazing actor. Congrats to him on the Golden Globe. If the US can’t laugh at themselves in a film like this, than they’re too high on themselves for trying to be perfect, which they’re not (hence being in wars 24/7, unlike the rest of the world)
