The 2013 Critics’ Choice Awards took place on Thursday January 10th at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California shortly after the 2013 Oscar nominees were announced.
Argo won Best Picture and Best Director at awards. While receiving the awards, Affleck joked saying, “I’d like to thank the Academy!” before laughing and adding, “It’s very, very cool for me. There was a time that a Ben Affleck critics’ award was a Saturday Night Live sketch.”
Some of those who were awarded was Jennifer Lawrence who took home awards for Best Actress in both the Action and Comedy categories for “The Hunger Games” and “Silver Linings Playbook,” respectively.
