Ben Affleck at the Golden Globes on Sunday after his film Argo won Best Motion Picture Drama. He also scooped the Best Director gong...
Hello Friends!
His Iran hostage thriller Argo was a surprise best drama winner at Sunday's Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic Lincoln, which had emerged as an awards-season favourite.
Argo also claimed the directing prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win - except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time.
And as he took the stage to claim the prizes, there was one woman to whom he had immense thanks for supporting him throughout the trials of its production: his wife, Jennifer Garner.
Victory is his! It was a double win for Ben Affleck at the Golden Globes on Sunday after his film Argo won Best Motion Picture Drama. He also scooped the Best Director gong...
Tribute: Jennifer looked bashful as Ben credited her for his success...
Loving couple: Affleck grabbed Garner for a quick kiss, and thanked her when he made his speech for Best Director
'I want to thank my wife who is the reason why I'm standing here,' he said after giving her a kiss and claiming the prize.
'I adore you. I love you so much. Thanks for sitting through this. You are my everything. Thank you,' he added.
Affleck's now in an unusual position during Hollywood's long awards season, taking home the top filmmaking trophy at the second-highest film honors knowing he does not have a shot at an Oscar.
And the night left Argo taking home the top prize at the Globes but standing as a longshot for best picture at the February 24 Oscars, where films almost never win if their directors are not nominated.

In a breathless, rapid-fire speech, Affleck gushed over the names of other nominees presenter Halle Berry had read off: Steven Spielberg for Lincoln, Ang Lee for Life of Pi, Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty and Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained.
'Look, I don't care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it's an extraordinary thing in your life,' Affleck said.
Luckily Garner, who presented an award after her husband's win, was able to thank some people Affleck forgot to mention.
