This is the award show’s 65th year and it will run from May 16 to 27. The first day of the celebration became interesting when Sacha Baron Cohen, clad in his General Aladeen costume, gate crashed the event riding on a camel and accompanied by two female bodyguards. Apart from Cohen’s grand entrance, the stars too, in couture wardrobe also got everyone’s attention even without an entourage. Below are some photos of the stars on the red Carpet:
