Born the son of a holocaust survivor to an Orthodox Jewish family, Sacha Baron Cohen has spent his career exposing antisemitism. In his arguably best-known role, that of his character Borat, Sacha played an openly antisemitic character. Famously, Sacha was the only one playing a part in the movie. The people who gleefully agreed with Borat’s bigoted statements or, arguably worse, ignored them in spite of knowing they were wrong, were real people who had no idea that they were speaking to a man playing a character. Sacha Baron Cohen once remarked that the holocaust was less fueled by rampant antisemites, but rather by the apathetic majority who let the minority of bigots speak the loudest. This is something that his character of Borat highlights well. In 2019 Sacha won the ADL’s International Leadership Award for opposing bigotry and prejudice, after which he gave a beautiful and intelligent speech about the hate being spread throughout the internet and the lack of action being taken to prevent this hate from growing. Right about the future, Sacha Baron Cohen continues his efforts to prevent antisemitic hate from taking over. For his work this year and all years, he deserves a place on our list.
