A planned Oscar spoof starring Sacha Baron Cohen as a female Na’vi from the movie Avatar has been canceled because of fears it might offend the film’s director, James Cameron.

New York Magazine reports that Cohen was scheduled to appear onstage as a blue-skinned female Na’vi, with Ben Stiller translating her speech. A source said at the end of the speech, Cohen planned open an evening gown to reveal that the Na’vi was pregnant with Cameron’s love child.

“Let’s just say that Cameron isn’t known to be, shall we say, ‘self-deprecating,’” a source told the magazine.

Cohen’s name has been removed from the scheduled list of presenters, and he is no longer expected to appear on the telecast.
