| | 10 biggest Oscar snubs ever | | | | |  | Ben Affleck, Argo: He may have swept award season this year for directing spy thriller Argo, but there will be no individual Oscar glory for Ben Affleck. Argo is nominated for Best Picture but, in a shock omission, not for Best Director.
Ben Affleck failed to make it to the Best Director list, which includes biggies like Ang Lee for Life Of Pi, Steven Spielberg for Lincoln and David O Russell for Silver Linings Playbook, foreign filmmaker Michael Haneke for Amour, and the little-known Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Nevertheless, despite the snub, the actor-director will join the presenting cast for the Academy Awards. | | | | | | | | | |
