Ben compared being at the Oscars to being at a championship sporting event, “This is the World Series, feels like the Super Bowl, no one’s going to put me on a football so team, so this is what I got.”

The filmmaker wasn’t the only Affleck competing for an award on Sunday. Just a few hours before the Academy Awards, Ben accompanied his daughter Violet to her spelling bee competition -- where she picked up the winning prize.

I absolutely knew Argo was going to win Best Picture, the wonderful surprise was when our beautiful and elegant first Lady presented that award, she clearly was the best dressed and her presenting that award was perfect. Adele looked fabulous, again another hit on fashion, she deserved to win, I love her.
