Sacha Baron Cohen resurrected his Ali G alter ego at last night's (28.02.16) Oscars.

The 44-year-old actor teamed his tuxedo with his famous white wannabe rapper character's sunglasses and hat and addressed the audience about diversity when he stepped out to present the Best Picture Academy Award with Olivia Wilde, who looked on silently as he spoke in support of "all people of all colours."

He said: "'Ow come there's no Oscar for dem very hard-working little yellow people with tiny dongs -- you know, the Minions.

"But I is here representing all of them that's been overlooked. Will Smith. Idris Elba. And of course that amazing black bloke from 'Star Wars' -- Darth Vader."

Raising his arm in solidarity, he added: "Dis is for you."

Sacha initially retired Ali G in 2007, but brought him back briefly in 2012 and again in 2014.

Four years ago, the British star caused a stir when he arrived at the ceremony in his 'Dictator' guise of Admiral General Aladeen and threw ashes over Ryan Seacrest's suit, after telling the presenter he was carrying an urn containing the ashes of deceased North Korean dictator Kim Jong II, whose dream was to be sprinkled over the red carpet.

And last night, the E! News host could be seen saying "no" and turning away when he saw Sacha on the red carpet, refusing to interview him.

However, the 'Grimsby' star later interrupted Ryan's interview with Lady Gaga and the two men shared a hug.
