Don't Miss:

The Directors Guild Awards were held on Saturday in Los Angeles, and it was another big night for Ben Affleck! The actor/director was awarded the evening’s top prize, Outstanding Directorial Achievement, for his film, Argo, and he thanked his wife, Jennifer Garner (in Antonio Berardi), and their children in his loving acceptance speech. “I have to just thank my wife for being the best person in the world. I love you,” Affleck said. “I don’t need to look at the teleprompter to know why I want to thank you. I want to thank you because I love you.“ And he wasn’t the only winner: Lena Dunham (in Thakoon) went home with a DGA for the pilot of Girls, while the Les Miserables cast showed up, too, with director Tom Hooper staying close to stars Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway (in Valentino) throughout the night. Congrats, everyone—on to the Oscars!

Speaking of which, see everyone who’s nominated for an Academy Award this season!

The cast of Les Miserables could be performing at this year’s 85th Annual Academy Awards! While details have yet to be confirmed, The Daily Mail reports that the key players are expected to take the stage including Best Supporting Actress nominee Anne Hathaway, Best Actor nominee Hugh Jackman, Samantha Barks, Amanda Seyfried, and InStyle Man of Style Eddie Redmayne. And although it’s always nerve-wracking to perform in front of your peers, the cast has plenty of experience with live singing, since they belted out the iconic tunes live everyday while filming. Catch all the Oscars action on ABC February 24th at 7/6c, and watch to see if the cast will hit the stage—and possibly even take home the trophy for Best Picture.

Santa Monica got down under for the annual G’Day USA Black Tie Gala, where Aussie stars turned out in full force to honor their homeland. Nicole Kidman (who debuted a new ‘do in Elie Saab), Hugh Jackman (in Louis Vuitton), and Naomi Watts (in Gucci) were all on-hand to honor their country at the event, which is an awards ceremony honoring some of the nation’s best and brightest. “We get ready pretty quickly,” Kidman told reporters of her party prep routine. “Because we have a two-year-old and a four-year-old who are always like, ‘Mommy, I want this! Mommy, I want that!’” Damages actress Rose Byrne was amongst those awarded this year, and supermodel Elle Macpherson was the emcee for the night.
