Oscar Congratulations

Citizenfour won best documentary at the Academy Awards tonight. And, host Neil Patrick Harris snarked, "Edward Snowden, the subject of this film, couldn't be here tonight for some treason."

Hardeehar, Chuckles.

 He also went out on stage earlier in his underwear, if that tells you anything (other than he thought it would be  funny reference to Birdman - but why choose that one bit from that one movie to reference in such a way?).



Think anybody will give Ed their Oscar?   Yeah, me neither.


That's Ed's girlfriend on Greenwald's left.

2/23/15  UPDATE:  Snowden and Greenwald were asked on an internet chat today how they felt about the "treason" joke.  (Click to enlarge if you can't read it.)
