Florida seems to have loved Argo more than any other group has so far. Ben Affleck’s film picked up the awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, a strong sign. The other categories were won by films that had triumphed in other venues with the exception of Best Documentary which went to first-time honoree The Queen of Versailles.
