The Faster Times wrote this about Banksy not being able to attend the the academy awards:
In perhaps the most telling moment of his recent career, the street artist ‘Banksy’ was denied permission to attend the academy awards in costume, and subsequently did not appear at all. Nominated for directing the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, the notoriously secretive man (or, debatably, collective) released a statement saying: “This is a big surprise. I don’t agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I’m prepared to make an exception for the ones I’m nominated for.” However, when faced with the apparent risk of multiple men in disguise accepting the award – which is to say, a scene — organizers barred him from entry.
Dear Banksy, Thanks for making the world interesting.
