No. Lincoln much better than Argo. So was "Beasts", for that matter. HERVEPA Feb 2013 #5

... the teeny snip they played of it, sounded great. Methinks that should have won instead of Skyfall.

That Chasing Ice song was way better than Skyfall. I think Adele won because it is a James Bond theme.

I don't know what the results were, because I didn't watch. I couldn't agree or disagree, because I only saw 2 of the potential winners: Life of Pi and Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Technical stuff was great, and they did a pretty good job with the story.

Beasts? Great. Maybe the best I've seen in the last year. I don't go see many, though.

Hope to see them both soon.

I saw Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty and Les Miz from the Best Picture nominees.

I thought Argo was the Best choice for Best picture of those four, although I liked Silver Linings Playbook the Best.

I thought it was good. It was certainly an interesting and unique film. Quvenzhané Wallis was amazing. However, I thought Jennifer Lawrence was better, and I thought Argo and Silver Linings were better overall.

I would've liked to have seen it get more wins. I really thought Spielberg was a lock for Best Director, but then I haven't seen Life of Pi yet.

That said, I really liked Argo, so I can't complain too much with it winning best picture. I can also accept Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor over Tommy Lee Jones as both men gave great performances.

I saw a few of the movies before the telecast.
I was pleased for Argo and Lawrence.
Didn't see Lincoln, but DDL has been a shoe-in all along.
I wanted DeNiro to win.
