Ben Affleck’s “Argo” Snags Best Picture Oscar

Ben told the audience, "I never thought I would be back here, and I am," as he thanked the plethora of folks who helped him along the way.

He continued, "You can't hold grudges. It's hard, but you can't hold grudges. And it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, 'cause that's gonna happen. It matters how you get up."

Earlier this month, Affleck confessed, "I just feel so incredibly honored to be nominated as a producer for this movie, to be here at the big party. I don't get into worrying too much about who got what and who didn't get what. I mean, I've had many, many, many, many, many, many years watching from home."
