Argo wins big

Ben Affleck’s Argo won screenplay honors from the Writers Guild of America, making Argo a hit over the weekend. The adapted screenplay award went to Chris Terrio for the movie. Argo showcases a tale of a daring group of six U.S CIA agents that disguise themselves as a Hollywood film crew in an attempt to rescue hostages from Iran.

The award ceremony was held Sunday, Feb. 17, in both New York and Los Angeles. Argo has not only made a name for itself at the Guild awards, but has emerged as the favored pick for best picture at the Oscars. The film has also had success at the Golden Globes, Directors Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild, and the Producers Guild of America.
