 Columbia Pictures would not issue Larry Flynt (qv) a ticket to the  awards (his biography _People vs. Larry Flynt, The (1996)_ (qv) was  up for two Oscars) because they were afraid that he would pull some  kind of vulgar stunt and embarrass them. Flynt became angry and  began railing against the studio for allowing the film to be made  but then censoring him in real life. At the very last minute,  Woody Harrelson (qv) (who played him in the film) gave him his  agents ticket.
