Best Picture Winner 2013: 'Argo' Wins Oscar At 85th Annual Academy Awards

Best Picture Winner!

The Best Picture Winner for 2013 was announced at Sunday's Oscars, with "Argo" taking the trophy.

The Ben Affleck movie bested "Life of Pi," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Django Unchained," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Amour," "Lincoln" and "Les Miserables."

Affleck was notably snubbed for Best Director, making the movie's win somewhat historic. In the 85-year of the Academy Awards, only three other movies have won Best Picture without a corresponding Best Director nomination. The victory is Affleck's second. He previously won for Best Original Screenplay in 1997 for "Goodwill Hunting."

Last year, "The Artist" won Best Picture.
