'Borat' comic nominated for Kazakh arts award
POSTED: 2:25 p.m. EST, November 24, 2006
ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) -- A leading Kazakh writer has nominated actor Sacha Baron Cohen for a national award for popularizing Kazakhstan.
Novelist Sapabek Asip-uly called on the Kazakh Club of Art Patrons to give Cohen its annual award, according to a letter published by the Vremya newspaper Thursday.
Cohen's fictional Kazakh character Borat "has managed to spark an immense interest of the whole world in Kazakhstan -- something our authorities could not do during the years of independence," said Asip-uly, who chairs the writers' guild "The Land and Destiny of Kazakhs."
Authorities in the ex-Soviet republic have been enraged by Borat's unflattering portrayal of Kazakh life in the spoof documentary, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
"If state officials completely lack a sense of humor, their country becomes a laughing stock," Asip-uly said.
The film, following Borat on a journey across America to report to his homeland on its culture and lifestyles, has become a runaway hit and generated controversy for its misogynist and racist scenes. Despite the film's worldwide success, Cohen has not received recognition in Kazakhstan, Asip-uly said.
The award of the Kazakh Club of Art Patrons was established in 2005.
Asip-uly is known for novels describing the Russian colonization of Kazakh lands and the Stalinist purges that decimated Kazakhstan's political and cultural elite in the 1930s.

Dude, I just had one watching this shit literally...
Fucking HILARIOUS...Everyone should see this movie, man that character....That shit seemed real as hell...
It tripped me out further, cause it was my local TV (WAPT Channel 16) station that did the TV interview spoof, I thought my television had come on and kicked my movie off screen, it was totally tripped out for a few minutes there....
Great flick man...

Sasha made a great acceptance speech at the Golden Globes last night: thanking his co-star for smothering him with his 300 pound ass. I'm sure it'll be on YouTube in no time.
