Sascha Baron Cohen is finally giving interviews as himself after months of only appearing in character as Borat.

The day after Borat: The Movie was awarded a Golden Globe award, Cohen has decided to close the chapter on this character and move on:

Sacha Baron Cohen has killed off his controversial character Borat.

The British-born comic star insists the offensive fictional Kazakhstani reporter is now too famous to fool anyone again, but has revealed he is already working on new ideas.

One might think Cohen would be sad to let go of such a long-running (and cash-generating) character. But if anything, he sounds relieved:

He explained: “It was tiring having to stay in character, usually for about eight hours at a time, so as not to raise suspicion. There is a lot of physical preparation. I never washed the suit – when I come in the room there’s this terrible smell. And Borat doesn’t wear any deodorant.”

Now that’s commitment. Or insanity. Or both.

… you couldn’t care less about the Golden Globe Awards because you’re too engrossed watching the Habs beat the Stars 4-2, despite being outshot 37-15. Jose Theodore deserves all the credit here. Go Habs!

It’s a new record: I officially have not seen a single one of the Golden Globe-nominated movies for this year.

Frankly, I don’t think I’ve missed much.

Update: After seeing the full list of nominees, I realized I’ve seen more of them than I’d thought. None of the best drama nominees for picture, actor or actress, but I did see two of the best comedy nominees and one of the best actress in a comedy ones.

What really pisses me off is the constant nomination of films that haven’t even been released in theatres yet. Sorry, but can you say “marketing ploy” any louder?
