Argo, Silver Linings Playbook win prizes from broadcast critics

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 13 Januari 2013 | 22.19

On the same day Ben Affleck was snubbed as an Oscar contender for directing, the Broadcast Film Critics Association gave him two trophies for his thriller Argo.

The critics group, comprising 250 members representing film critics in the U.S. and Canada, handed out its annual awards in Santa Monica, Calif. on Thursday.

Actor-director Affleck joked about the Oscar snub as he accepted the BFCA's best director honour. "I would like to thank the academy," he began, before adding, "I'm kidding. This is the one that counts."

Argo, his well-received thriller revisiting the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, was also named overall best picture.

Earlier Thursday morning, the U.S. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled its nominees for the upcoming Oscars. Though Argo earned seven nominations — including for best picture — Affleck was one of several filmmakers who were surprisingly left out of contention for the best director trophy.

Multiple wins for Silver Linings Playbook

The BFCA showed its love for the misfits romance tale Silver Linings Playbook, which ended the night as one of the big winners. It earned the prize for best acting ensemble as well as best comedy. Meanwhile, stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence took trophies for best actor and actress in a comedy, respectively.

Lawrence was a double-winner Thursday night, also winning the title of best actress in an action movie for her lead role in The Hunger Games.

"Critics aren't so bad," she quipped as she accepted her trophy for The Hunger Games, based on the hit Suzanne Collins young adult novel trilogy.

"Seriously, I love critics," she added upon later winning for Silver Linings Playbook.
