"Argo" Wins Critics' Choice "Best Picture" Award

The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) honored Argo with its "Best Picture" and "Best Director" awards.  In fact, Ben Affleck picked up his best director trophy for Argo the same day he did not receive an expected best director Oscar nomination for Argo.  Silver Linings Playbook received four awards and Skyfall received three.
