Plastic Jesus battles Hollywood and drugs with a coke-snorting Oscar

Do yo remember the golden Oscar statue with a heroine needle in its arms last year? Plastic Jesus was the creator. He is a street artist from Los Angeles and this year, just a couple of days before the stars hit the red carpet at the Oscars on Sunday, he had erected a life-size golden statue on Hollywood Blvd. This statue is bent over on the ground and snorting giant lines of cocaine with a straw and credit card.

 "The piece is intended to draw attention to Hollywood's hidden problem of drug addiction that effects hundreds of people in the showbiz industry and is largely ignored until the death of a high profile A list celebrity," photographer Nick Stern, who works with Plastic Jesus, explained.
