The Cricket’s Daily 3: ‘Argo’ gets two guilds’ blessing
Published on Feb 22, 2013 09:55AM
Here’s what’s being talked about today in pop culture:
• "Argo" is suddenly the front-runner for the Oscars, with wins this weekend from the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild of America.

• "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" topped the week’s box office, scoring $19 million. [Box Office Mojo]
• Richard Roeper’s review of the universally reviled "Movie 43" has, justifiably, gone viral. [Chicago Sun-Times]
