The Heartwarming Cause Ben Affleck Skipped the 2022 SAG Awards

For Ben Affleck, dad is a very powerful position.

The actor made that very clear over the weekend when he skipped the 2022 SAG Awards to have fun his and Jennifer Garner‘s son Samuel Affleck‘s 10th birthday, according to a number of reports. 

Whereas Ben, who can be dad to Violet Affleck, 16, and Seraphina Affleck, 13, wasn’t current on the ceremony, he was nominated for Excellent Efficiency by a Male Actor in a Supporting Function for his work in The Tender Bar.

Although the award ended up going to Coda star Troy Kotsur, Ben has obtained loads of reward for his efficiency within the movie, which facilities on a 9-year-old boy—searching for a father determine—bonding along with his bartender uncle and the pub’s clients. The George Clooney-director film, which is an adaptation of J. R. Moehringer‘s 2005 memoir, has even received a sweet shout-out from Ben’s girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.

“There’s a nice scene with Ben and the little boy in a bowling alley,” Jennifer instructed her Instagram followers in January. “Ben performs his uncle and they’re each superb within the film.”
