Ben and Jen
Let's just ignore the fact that Ben looks somewhat sulky here and enjoy the fact that they are taking a photo TOGETHER. This NEVER HAPPENS on events that don't also involve a paparazzo hiding in a bush somewhere. And they both look so attractive.
Jennifer Garner
She just looks really, really good. Not too flashy, but not particularly retiring either. Just GOOD. Plain old good. Good, to misquote Gordon Gekko, is good.
Ben Affleck
As Heather noted earlier, Ben is in very high spirits for someone who just got brutally snubbed by the Oscars. It must help that EVERYONE's reaction to this snubbage has been OUTRAGE (including mine). He is also really, really into navy blue right now.
KISSING
I just want them to work out even though I worry that Ben -- whom I do love -- might still be kind of a poker-playing, strip-joint-eyeing horndog. But maybe that's not the case! Maybe if it IS the case, maybe she doesn't care. WE DON'T KNOW THEIR LIVES.
Hugs
Aw! Casey Affleck popped up at the afterparty to give his brother a hug. Everything's coming up Affleck. Except the Oscars. Although given that he won Best Director on Sunday and those votes were counted before the Oscar noms were even announced, you have to wonder if all of this SNUBGATE 2013 dramz might sway people to give Argo best picture. At the very least, someone has his We're Sorry About That Time We Screwed You Over Oscar IN THE BAG. He could do ANYTHING in the next few years and get a nomination. GIGLI 2: GIGLIER. DO IT, BEN.
