Ben Affleck wins "Best Director" at Critics Choice Awards after being snubbed by Oscars

The Critics Choice Awards were held last night, and Ben Affleck's Argo took home "Best Picture" and "Best Director."

In a light-hearted moment, Affleck "thanked the Academy" - making light of his absence from the Oscar list.

Argo IS Oscar-nominated for "Best Picture" as well as six other Academy Awards.
