Ben Affleck snubbed for Best Director

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2013)

I'm calling it that Argo will win Best Picture this year at the Oscars, Alan Arkin will win Best Supporting Actor. Ben Affleck should have gotten a directing nomination, the most outlandish snub at this year's Oscars by far.
I for one especially appreciated that Ben Affleck accurately portrayed in his brief storyboard history lesson that we brought the hostage crisis on ourselves, a consequence of our attempts to nation build Iran. We murdered a ruler acting in the best interest of the Iranian people because he wouldn't give us oil and put in a despot who would. We grant that ruler amnesty when he is overthrown and what happened next, the Iranian hostage crisis. Some may call that liberal propaganda, me...I call it the truth.
