In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald is holding an Oscar on TV right now. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)241. He's IN the 'fucking movie' which wouldn't have happened without him. And if the directors and
producers invite him, just as others who received oscars invite those who made their Oscars possible, to acknowledge as Poitras said,, the brave 'whistle blowers and JOURNALISTS' who made the Oscar possible, I'll take THEIR word that he more than deserved to be there. And they decided to allow HIM to hold the Oscar.
First a Pulitzer, now an Oscar and rave reviews about the documentary itself.
