In this edition of THG’s Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off series, The Dictator, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, takes on Brad Pitt. Didn’t see that one coming, we know.

Pitt was nominated for his lead role in Moneyball. Cohen was invited to the show because of his role in Hugo, but his red carpet trip was infamously cut short.

That’s because he showed up in character as Admiral General Aladeed, his character from The Dictator, and dumped Kim Jong-Il’s ashes on Ryan Seacrest.

Before getting escorted away by security, Aladeed did look quite dashing posing for the cameras with a couple of hot “officials” from the Republic of Wadiya.

Dashing enough to overtake Pitt? You decide in the poll below!
