I see you believe in the lefty hollywierd hype. Those award shows are just that. They were created during a time of unpoplarity of hollywierd and they needed hype to draw in the feebleminded. It worked on you perfectly.
Ok, let's look at cold, hard cash. "Argo", $135 million in receipts. "The Town", $93 million. "State of Play", $37 million. "He's Just Not That In To You", $96 million. That 'flop' Daredevil? A $102 million boxoffice. Heck, even that God-awful "Pearl Harbor" drew close to $200 million.
Add all the lefty hollyweird awards and like I said, Affleck isn't doing that bad.
