Sacha Baron Cohen accepted the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award For Excellence In Comedy at BAFTA LA's  2013 Britannia Awards on Saturday (Nov. 9) and appeared to kill a wheelchair-bound old woman while doing so.

Except totally not because this is Sacha Baron Cohen and while high on the shock value he's not so big on the murder.

Cohen received his award from presenter Salma Hayek, who introduced Grace Collington, claiming that "At 87, [Collington is] the oldest surviving actor to have worked with Chaplin in a silent movie."

After Collington presented Cohen with his award (one of Charlie Chaplin's canes) he appeared to accidentally push her off the stage where she landed face down to the confusion of the audience.

"Grace Collington is the oldest, sorry, was the oldest… I dedicate my award to her. It’s obviously a tragedy, but on the bright side what a great way to go. She’ll probably make the Oscars In Memoriam section… Anyway tonight is not about her, it’s about me," Cohen joked as her "body" was removed.

You can check out the entire award show prank below, which is sadly sans Cohen's acceptance speech.
