Argo Wins Big in Golden Globes

When the nominations for the Oscars were revealed last week, the omission of Ben Affleck from the Best Director list shocked film fanatics. And needless to say, many of them, some even actors, openly expressed their disappointment over it. However, just last night, the Argo director and star redeemed himself.

Beating Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow and other nominated directors, Ben Affleck bagged the Best Director trophy in the 70^th Golden Globe Awards for his film “Argo.” In fact, it was said that his win was one of the most-well-received of the evening as the audience automatically got into a standing ovation after his name was called.

But that’s not all that “Argo” got. In the best motion picture drama category, the film, which is about the rescue of the six American diplomats during the 1979 Iranian crisis, also bested out “Lincoln” and “Zero Dark Thirty.”
