BEN Affleck got some vindication and Jodie Foster made a revelation at the Golden Globe Awards. Affleck’s Argo earned him best motion picture drama and director honors at Sunday night’s ceremony. The awards came just a few days after Affleck was surprisingly omitted from the best-director category at the Academy Award nominations. Affleck also stars in the real-life drama as the CIA operative who orchestrated a daring rescue of six American embassy employees during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. These wins seem to shake up the Oscar race, in which Steven Spielberg’s stately, historical epic Lincoln was looking like a juggernaut. Despite seven Golden Globe nominations, Lincoln earned just one award: best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis’ intense, richly detailed portrayal of Abraham Lincoln as he fought for passage of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery. Spielberg’s film heads into the February 24 Academy Awards with a leading 12 nominations.
