Ben Affleck got the last laugh Jan. 13 at the 70th Annual Golden Globes, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Not only did he personally win Best Director for Argo, but his movie also won the biggest award of the night: Best Motion Picture, Drama! He also got to go home with Jennifer Garner, but that really goes without saying.

Hopefully there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind now that the Academy really screwed up by not giving Ben an Oscar nomination for directing.

Ben Affleck’s Emotional Golden Globes Speech

Ben was beaming with excitement as he arrived on stage and received his Golden Globe from Halle Berry.

“I don’t care what the award is,” he began. “When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it’s an extraordinary thing in your life. These nominees are exceptional talent. I truly to God never thought I’d be in the same breath as them. I want to thank them. I want to thank the many talented people who weren’t nominated.”

He went on to thank the usual people — his people, the studio, the cast and crew of his movie, etc. — before moving on to the four most important people in his life.

“Also, I just want to thank my three kids,” he said. “Violet, Sera and Sam, I love you guys. I want to thank my wife, who’s the reason I’m standing here. I adore you, I love you so much. Thanks for sitting through this, you’re my everything. Thank you all very much!”

Jen looked so happy for her husband, and so in love. We’re sure they found a good way to celebrate later that night!

Despite rumors that the couple split, Stacy Keibler and George Clooney still look like they’re going strong, smiling and posing together at the premiere of George’s upcoming film, Argo. Clad in a backless vintage Alia silk black dress that looked like it was painted on her and strappy sandals, Stacy seemed cool and confident — even if she was showing off so much skin!

She completed the ensemble with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, a Valentino clutch and Neil Lane jewels.

While Jennifer Garner wowed in more of a classic yet chic look, Stacy’s dress was all about sex appeal — but both ladies looked stunning!

Ben’s rep tells HollywoodLife.com that Ben can’t decide whether it’s a ‘compliment’ or the ‘ultimate repudiation’ — but he thinks they chose the wrong film!

Ben Affleck is a bit confused … and so are we! The actor, who is currently in Turkey working on his upcoming film Argo, learned that House Republicans were using a scene from his 2010 film The Town to encourage members to “back” Speaker John Boehner‘s debt ceiling plan.

“I don’t know if this is a compliment or the ultimate repudiation,” Ben’s rep tells us on his behalf. “But if they’re going to be watching movies, I think The Company Men is more appropriate.”

Ben is referring to his other 2010 hit about a man who loses his job and has to struggle to support his family during the recession.

This is similar to when Tom Petty threatened legal action when Michele Bachmann used his 1977 hit “American Girl.”

Maybe the republican party should ask before “borrowing” these pieces of art for their political agenda?
