Can we all agree that even though Birdman's winning the Best Picture Oscar over Boyhood was a wee bit controversial, it was still a darn good movie?

The camera work, the awesomely huge acting, the score...it was all phenomenal. And that Edward Norton. Hot tamale. Excuse us while we fangirl out for a second. And even better than simply going back to the theater over and over again for viewings, we can now take home our very own Birdman prop.

And no, it's not Keaton's undies, you sickos—it's the military-style jacket worn by Edward Norton's character, Mike Shiner. According to Vogue, the story behind it all is this: The jacket is designed by the brand Osklen, and when Norton showed up to rehearsals wearing it, Birdman director Alejandro González Iñarritu became so smitten that he decided to incorporate it into the movie's wardrobe. Iñarritu then decided he wanted one for himself, as did cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki

Unfortunately, the design was discontinued, but Norton decided to take matters into his own hands. He talked Osklen into releasing a limited edition selection of the jacket, with all of the proceeds going to his favorite charity, the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, natch. The power of Edward Norton is real, you guys. 

If you want to own a piece of Oscars history, it will cost you ($300 here), but we think it's a win-win.
