'Argo' Best Picture, Drama Winner At 2013 Golden Globes

"Argo" has won Best Picture, Drama at the 2013 Golden Globes.

"Argo," directed by Ben Affleck, defeated "Django Unchained," "Lincoln," "Life of Pi" and "Zero Dark Thirty" for the honor.

This was a big week for "Argo." The film also received multiple Oscar nominations on Thursday, including one for Best Picture. However, Affleck was snubbed in the category for Best Director.

The Best Picture, Drama category at the Golden Globes was packed with high profile nominees. "Lincoln" received the most nods of any film in competition this year with seven. "Argo" and "Lincoln" each earned five, while "Zero Dark Thirty" grabbed four. The directors of all five films were also nominated in the Best Director category; Affleck won that award.

Last year at the Golden Globes, "The Descendants" won Best Picture, Drama, beating "The Help" and "Hugo" among other films.
