From hero to zero... to hero again

Ben Affleck taking home the Oscar for best picture for Argo came as no surprise.

In fact, the win marks familiar territory for Affleck who has come full circle back to being an Academy Awards darling after a handful of wrong turns in his life and career.

Affleck was first on the Oscar stage 15 years ago, when he and Matt Damon won the Academy Award for best original screenplay for Good Will Hunting. Affleck was 25, already with a few decent film credits under his belt.
