Academy voters made up for Ben Affleck's much-maligned Best Director snub by awarding "Argo" with this year's Best Picture Oscar on Sunday night. When the 40-year-old Cambridge native accepted his award, along with fellow "Argo" producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov, he sped through an unusual series of thank you's to Iranians, Canada and his wife, a beaming Jennifer Garner.
"I thank you everyone in the movie, on the movie, worked on the movie, did anything with this movie gets thanked," Affleck said during the speech. "I want to thank Canada. I want to thank our friends in Iran living in terrible circumstances right now."
