"The producers work so hard," said presenter Nicole Kidman. "Having done it now -- once on Rabbit Hole -- I know what it takes, and I have such respect for what it takes ... It's a lot of work and it's unheralded work a lot of the time."

Some of the attendees were playing double duty.

"Don't forget I'm still an actor," said Argo director/producer/star Ben Affleck, joking that he's really just networking to land his next gig. "I'm hoping to lobby -- remind them."

Affleck walked away with top honors at the award show, winning for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of a Theatrical Motion Picture.
