ByTony Franco

The winner of the Golden Globe for Best Director was no other than Ben Affleck, who was not nominated by the Academy for  an Oscar in that  category, even though Argo, the film he directed,  received very good reviews and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Movie.

But, who needs the Oscar anyway, Affleck does not have to prove his talent as a director after picking up within 3 days, a Critics´ Choice Award and a Golden Globe for Best Director.

Ben Affleck winner of a Golden Globe for Best Director in  the film Argo.

The 70th Annual Golden Globe AwardsCeremony was  held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. 

Argo, the movie about the escape of six american hostages during the Iranian Revolution in 1979 was also a winner, receiving a Golden Globe for Best Drama. 

Anne Hathaway,  was the winner of Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for "Les Misérables". 

Delivering a rambling and confessional speech, Jodie Foster, honored for the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement in film, acknowledged she had a female partner when she thanked Cydney Bernard, who she also called out as the co-parent of their children.

Foster said among other things, "There is no way I could ever stand here without acknowledging one of the deepest loves of my life, my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, consigliore, most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard. Thank you, Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family. Our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul. And boys, in case you didn’t know it, this song, all of this, this song is for you.”
