Reprising his "Da Ali G Show" TV role as the clueless and crass Kazakh journalist Borat, Cohen was nominated for best musical or comedy actor.

"I have been trying to let Borat know this great news, but for the last four hours, both of Kazakhstan's telephones have been engaged," Cohen said in a statement. "Eventually, Premier (Nursultan) Nazarbayev answered and said he would pass on the message as soon as Borat returned from Iran, where (he) is guest of honor at the Holocaust Denial Conference."
