I wonder if they knew ahead of time since it was a sort of political movie. Or, maybe they thought "Zero Dark Thirty" was going to win since it happened in Obama's Administration.

for inspiring people to work hard & do their best to fulfill their dreams. The movie business employs a lot of people. So it made sense. To me, at least.

BEST PICTURE: ARGO


with Grant Hezlov

Ben Affleck and his co-producers (one of whom is George Clooney) are on stage to accept their awards. Affleck acknowledges Steven Spielberg as a genius, tears through his thank yous -- adding "I want to thank Canada" in a heartfelt acceptance speech.

This marks only the second time in the past 30 years that a film has won Best Picture without garnering a direction nomination. The other was 'Driving Miss Daisy' in 1989.
