The Critics' Choice Awards are generally a good barometer for the Oscars, which makes Ben Affleck's night a bittersweet one. He took home honors for best director and best film last night for Argo, hours after failing to even get nominated in the directors' category for an Academy Award. "I would like to thank the academy," he said upon winning. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. This is the one that counts." Winners in the big categories, from USA Today and AP:
- Best film: Argo
- Best director: Ben Affleck (Argo)
- Best actor: Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln)
- Best actress: Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty)
