Affleck wins Best Director

Last night in Hollywood, the 2013 Golden Globes were held. While the show was a snooze as usual, it did offer up a few alarming surprises.

On the TV side, cable TV is flexing it’s muscle over the networks. Both the drama winner “Homeland” (Showtime) and “Girls” (HBO) come from cable channels and they pretty much dominated the Globes. Check out the 2013 Golden Globes TV winners.

Everyone thought “Lincoln” was going to roll as an early preview of what would be to come from the upcoming Oscars in February. Instead, it was “Argo” that would up winning Best Motion Picture Drama, with Ben Affleck winning Best Director. It’s an interesting turn of events, especially after Affleck was considered one of the bigger snubs when the 2013 Academy Award nominations were handed out last week.

“Les Misérables” took home the Best Movie Comedy or Musical, making it the early favorite to win the Oscar. See the full list of 2013 Golden Globes Movie winners.
