So... ARGO directed itself?! For what it's worth, @BenAffleck, this ol' movie-maker still thinks you're one of the Best Directors of 2012...

Remember, @BenAffleck: When DRIVING MISS DAISY won Best Picture, its director Bruce Beresford wasn't nominated either. #ArgoWillWinTheOscar

Congrats to all five Oscar nominees for Best Documentary! Every one of these films is outstanding. This is one of the best lists I've seen.

What? No Supporting Actor nod for his groundbreaking work in “That’s My Boy”?? Great, Academy. Thanks for BREAKING VANILLA ICE’S HEART.
