Well, no one was expecting to see this guy on the Oscars stage last night.

Sacha Baron Cohen resurrected Ali G for one night only so Staines’ finest could wade in on the Oscars race row.

Ali told the audience: "I know what you was tinking when I walked on, here comes yet another token black presenter but it ain't just me brethern that has been overlooked it is all people of all colours.

"How come there is no Oscar for all them hard working yellow people with tiny dongs, you know, the minions?

"But I is here looking out for all those who have been overlooked, Will Smith, Idris Elbow, and the amazing black bloke from Star Wars - Darth Vader.

"This is for you. Now check out a movie about a room full of white people."

Oh, and he told his co-presenter, Olivia Wilde, that she was “well fit”. He’s got a point in fairness…

Oscars host Chris Rock also tackled the race row.

He said: "The real question everyone wants to know is, 'Is Hollywood racist?' You gotta go at that at the right way. Is it burning cross racist? it's a different type of racist.

"You're damn right Hollywood's racist, but it's the racist we've become accustomed to."

Here's what else happened at last night's Oscars.
