The Houston Film Critics Society has named Argo the best film of the year, and likewise bestowed its Best Director honors on the film’s helmer, Ben Affleck. Lincoln came in with the most nominations, and while it didn’t take home the big prize, the film still won for Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Supporting Actor (Tommy Lee Jones), and Adapted Screenplay (Tony Kushner). It’s hard, really, to argue with any of their choices. Have a look after the jump.

I just can’t understand what a lot of people see in Tommy Lee Jones’ performance.

My money’s on Philip Seymour Hoffman to win the Oscar, no matter how good Tommy Lee Jones’ chances are…

After seeing Zero Dark Thirty, Argo just seems tame. My opinion though.
