Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' has again found itself in the middle of a controversy. Several advocacy organisation based in countries like Canada, the UK, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Georgia have joined a US based organisation in calling for the film to be blocked by all the major awards in Hollywood.&nbsp; 
 
The groups have appealed to those organisations behind major Hollywood film awards like the Oscars and Golden Globes to not consider the film in the upcoming awards season. Reason: Cohen's film, according to these groups normalizes, promotes and monetizes "whitewashing, ethnic stereotyping, cultural appropriation and racism in entertainment." 
 
"Mr. Cohen went beyond any moral or ethical standards in portraying Kazakh people as misogynistic, incestuous, anti-Semitic, and barbarous," said Gia Noortas, CEO of Hollywood Film Academy in a statement issued to the Hollywood Foreign Press and the Academy. "Due to this harmful misrepresentation, more Kazakhs today will face racial abuse, bullying, humiliation, and dehumanization." 
 
The supergroup is "calling on the film award organizations worldwide to publicly condemn whitewashing and cultural appropriation, stand against racism and racial hatred and remove Mr. Cohen, his cast, crew and film 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' from their respective competitions this year." 
 
"We understand that the nature of comedy is to test the limits of what is acceptable, but not at our nation's expense," Noortas added. "It's racism, period. Racial abuse of Kazakh minority should not be the last refuge of racism in Hollywood. Kazakh women have become targets for harassment, Kazakh children are being bullied, Kazakhs worldwide face discrimination.

'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' is a mockumentary that follows Borat, a Kazakhstani journalist. Cohen plays Borat in the film where he also serves as the producer and the co-writer. The film was a sequel of 2006 Borat film and released on Amazon in October this year.&nbsp; 
 
The 2006 film had earned an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay and Golden Globe nomination for best performance by an actor &nbsp;in a motion picture comedy or musical and a best picture nomination as well.&nbsp; 
 
'Subsequent Moviefilm' is eligible so far for awards this year. Many have predicted that actress Maria Bakalova is one of the top&nbsp;contenders&nbsp;for her performance as Borat's daughter.&nbsp; 
 
There has been no reaction so far from the Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences or The Hollywood Foreign Press on this news.&nbsp;

Advocacy groups want 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' to be banned from all major awards this year. Here's why 

After Oscars revealed its date for the next year’s ceremony, Golden Globes has set its ceremony date as February 28, 2021.

This comes in the wake of almost all film festivals and awards ceremonies postponing their dates because of the coronavirus pandemic <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/oscars-2021-ceremony-gets-a-new-date-scheduled-for-april-25-306174">including Oscars 2021.&nbsp;</a>

Golden Globes’ new date is the same as that of the Oscars 2021 original ceremony date.&nbsp;

Golden Globes annually takes place in the month of January. It was previously announced that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will return as hosts.

In early March, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that due to the virus crisis, films can qualify for Golden Globes consideration even if they do not first screen in a theater, as movie theaters shuttered amid the pandemic. Instead, films "may instead be released first on a television format and will still be eligible."

They, however, announced that this setup is temporary and would begin "March 15 until a date to be determined by HFPA when cinemas in the Los Angeles area have generally reopened."

Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bafta-2021-to-be-held-on-april-11-eligibility-period-extended-306164">BAFTA Film Awards will be held on April 11, 2021 </a>after originally being scheduled to take place on February 13, 2021. &nbsp;
