Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, or simply Borat Subsequent Moviefilm or Borat 2, is a 2020 mockumentary black comedy film co-written by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the fictional Kazakh journalist and television personality Borat Sagdiyev, and Maria Bakalova as his daughter Tutar, who is to be offered as a bride to then–U.S. vice president Mike Pence during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election. It is a sequel to 2006's Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
Although Baron Cohen had said in 2007 that he had retired the Borat character, he was spotted in 2019 in the disguise, and was seen filming in mid-2020, leading to speculation of a second Borat film. The project was officially announced in September 2020, with Amazon Studios acquiring the distribution rights. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm was released on October 23, 2020, on Amazon Prime Video. It received praise from critics for Baron Cohen's and Bakalova's performances, as well as for its commentary on American culture; former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's appearance, however, was polarizing.
The film received three nominations at the 78th Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Baron Cohen) and Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy. At the 93rd Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress (Bakalova, who became the first Bulgarian actress to be nominated for an Oscar). In addition, Bakalova received BAFTA and Actor Award nominations as Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The screenplay won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 73rd Writers Guild of America Awards.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm holds the Guinness World Record for the longest title of an Oscar–nominated film.
