“When Laura Poitras asked me if she could film our encounters, I was extremely reluctant. I’m grateful that I allowed her to persuade me. The result is a brave and brilliant film that deserves the honor and recognition it has received. My hope is that this award will encourage more people to see the film and be inspired by its message that ordinary citizens, working together, can change the world.” – Edward Snowden
Good for those guys. I’m surprised Edward is still alive.
Best ‘Casting Couch’ Award – Winner: John McCain

This award goes to US Senator John McCain, who has become quite a polarizing figure in politics and when he’s not supporting the Constitution in his free time, he’s been seen meeting with and auditioning militants and radicals referred to as “moderately violent” rebels in Syria aka ‘McCain’s Army’, and also with aspiring upstart Nazis in Kiev.
John is always ready and willing to pimp himself out when it comes to a neoconservative agenda – no matter if he has to slum it with kidnappers and killers!
John receives the ‘Casting Couch’ award because his political play time sees him doing whatever it takes to convince the American public about an non-existent threat. It is a role he relishes,especially since his Presidential aspirations purposely hit the toilet bowel in ’08. Special Note: US Secretary of State John Kerry has been desperately vying for this role – unfortunately for him his shameful performance during the Syria ‘chemical weapons’ fiasco that wasn’t, has landed him a role as a background fluffer in Kiev (pining for more weapons to the Ukraine) until further notice.
Leni Riefenstahl Award for Best Propaganda Film – Winner: American Sniper

Originally, this award was named after Albert Speer (won by Zero Dark Thirty in 2013), but after much protesting from some very angry old men living in Bariloche, Argentina, we’ve named it after the notorious female Third Reich propaganda filmmaker.
Hands down, this award goes to the film American Sniper, released by Warner Brothers, is a characterization of the recently deceased Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle who is played by Bradley Cooper. Aside from the fact that nearly every key scene in this film was made-up (never happened), the film was released at the very same time as the Paris Terrorist Attacks, a possible intervention in Yemen, and while the US is simultaneously softening the ground for a return of US troops to Iraq.
Low and behold, President Obama unveiled his case for redeployment in Iraq last week, waxing on about, ‘US troops joining the fight against ISIS in a campaign to recapture Iraq’s second largest city [Mosul].”
On top of this, the Oscars have been timed with the trial of Chris Kyle killer Eddie Ray Routh (he has three names, which means that he will go down in history as a patsy) for the double murder carried out at Rough Creek Lodge, Texas on February 2, 2013. The circumstances surrounding Kyle’s and Chad Littlefield’s death are suspicious to say the least and not surprisingly, the film doesn’t delve into this at all. Routh’s trial is ongoing and will no doubt attract more national media attention because of the film’s success.
Best Costume in a Phony YouTube Terror Video – Winner: Jihadi John

This award could also be called the most ‘menacing ninja outfit’ award, which has to go to ‘Jihadi John‘ aka L Jinny, aka Abu Kalashnikov, aka John the Beatle, aka Abdel Bary.
No stranger to show business, Bary’s body of work includes a once flourishing rap career that had already landed him a spot on BBC1, with his lyrics strangely allowed to be used over top the Grammy award winning band XX’s song dubbed ‘Intro Instrumental’.
Bary was selling copies of the seemingly pilfered track prior to swapping his cushy affluent lifestyle for a less certain more violent future, as the main ‘Terror Presenter’ seen in a host of ISIS videos until recently. It has been stated that Bary’s father, was also an extremist named Adel Abdul Bary, and was alleged to be one of Osama Bin Laden’s closest lieutenants (according to US authorities, who are normally super correct about this sort of intelligence).
Nothing concerning spying on citizens will EVER change. Snowden cannot possibly believe that.
Best Picture – Winner: Ebola: The Disappeared

EbolaNothing disappeared as quick as Ebola did. One minute, Sean Hannity was blaming Obama for allowing Ebola into the US, and the next minute it was gone. No, maybe it was never there to begin with.
That’s what makes this drama so compelling. The Ebola ‘outbreak’ narrative within the United States dissolved itself in a pool of media trickery and hype, reminiscent of 2009′s Swine Flu (H1N1) scare turned viral-flop. A non-pandemic if there ever was one. Bio-threats are another new, untapped market for these transnational giants. Add this to our current reactionary and media climate and you have a lethal mix.

Stucky
Your awards recap was a hoot. Waaay better than the Commy version with the Glitterati pukefest and Oprah with da negrows.
Every American should see “Citizenfour” especially those who don’t recognize Edward Snowden for being the hero that he truly is!
Stucky, don’t know if this comment you posted was yours or lifted from an article: “The circumstances surrounding Kyle’s and Chad Littlefield’s death are suspicious to say the least and not surprisingly, the film doesn’t delve into this at all.” But the truth is (from what I’ve read) is that Kyle’s wife asked Clint Eastwood to remove the end of the movie that showed his death, so her kids wouldn’t ever see it.
There’s nothing “suspicious” about his death, the Routh guy was a wacko, whether it was PTSD or medication, he was out of his mind (although I don’t think he’ll be declared innocent by insanity).

“”American Sniper” producers and director Clint Eastwood changed the ending of the Oscar-nominated film after Chris Kyle’s widow asked them not to show her husband’s death on the big screen.
…
Five days after Kyle’s death, his widow Taya asked that the actual shooting not be featured on the big screen.”
Supposedly Greenwald has more documents from Snowden–why haven’t they been released?
Just for fun… For all of the Snowden fans.
