LOS ANGELES, United States of America – Hollywood actor and director Ben Affleck took home the Best Director award for his film Argo at the Critics’ Choice Film Awards on Friday, January 11–the same day that he was snubbed of an Oscar nomination.
Affleck’s Iranian hostage thriller movie, which was nominated in 7 categories, also won the Best Picture award. The actor-director reportedly joked as he took the trophy, saying he’d “like to thank the Academy.”
The awards were given hours after the list of Oscar nominees for this year has been released. Film buffs expected to see Afleck on the best director list, but failed to make it among the official nominees. (See full list of of nominees here)
