February 11, 2013 09:27
Ben Affleck's Iran-hostage drama Argo continued its award season triumph by winning three trophies, including the best picture and director, at the British Academy Film Awards while Ang Lee's India-set drama Life of Pi managed two trophies in technical categories.
The BAFTA win has bettered Argo's chances at the Oscars on February 24.
Inspired by real-life events in 1979 of CIA's attempt to free six diplomats while posing as a film crew, the film has steadily climbed its way to the top this award season by winning trophies at the Golden Globes, the Producers Guild and
the Directors Guild of America awards.
Argo beat Les Miserables, Life Of Pi, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty to be named the best film.
The best actor win by Daniel Day-Lewis for his brilliant turn as 16th US President Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln was predictable. It was the only prize out of 10 nominations for Steven Spielberg directed movie.
