Artist’s statue spoof shows Oscar snorting cocaine

The golden figure is bent over a line of white powder with a credit card lying nearby.

A placard underneath the statue reads, ‘Hollywood’s Best Party.’ The display lasted on the sidewalk near the Dolby Theatre for five hours Thursday before it was removed, but Plastic Jesus hopes his work made a clear statement before Sunday’s biggest bash.

CNN made multiple attempts to reach the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for comment, as it is famously protective of images of the Oscar statuette.

Plastic Jesus says he has received a lot of support from within the entertainment industry.
