Jacob Hall — Sun, 19 May 2013 16:16:36 +0000

Of course there was an 'Argo' sketch on last night's SNL. How could you get Ben Affleck to host and not have some kind of 'Argo' sketch? However, what they came up with proved much stranger and much funnier than you'd expect. What if Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad protested 'Argo' by making a movie about the making of 'Argo'? Well, now we know!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:15:22 +0000

Vince Vaughn's first 'SNL' hosting gig in over a decade might have felt a bit undercooked, something we're hoping two-time host and 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will fix in his May 4 outing, but it's the rest of 'SNL's' all-star May lineup that really brings the A game. Not only will beloved former cast member Kristen Wiig return to the 'SNL' stage for her first hosting gig, but so will Ben Affleck, with musical guest Kanye West! Preview 'SNL's' all-star May inside!

Ben Affleck and 'Argo' Win Top Prizes at the DGA Awards

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:13:00 +0000

Okay, this is just getting silly -- another major Hollywood award ceremony, another victory for Ben Affleck and 'Argo,' this time at the Director's Guild of America awards.

A joke ten years in the making, last night Jimmy Kimmel fans were in for a treat as the oft-put upon Matt Damon finally got his revenge on the late-night host.

Along with a host of guest stars including Robin Williams and Ben Affleck, check out Damon's take-over of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' inside!

Stephen King‘s ‘The Stand’ is certainly a massive undertaking for any director, which is why it’s understandable when Ben Affleck says he’s having a hard time with the project right now.

Damon Houx — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 03:00:08 +0000

With 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' about to hit theaters, Kristen Stewart is a woman without a franchise.
