Years before directing his first, full-length feature film, 2007’s “Gone Baby Gone,” Affleck made his directorial debut in 1993 with the short “I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney.”

Affleck admitted in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly that the adsurdly titled film, starring friend Jay Lacopo, is not one of his best works and it still “haunts” him to this day. Here, Affleck is pictured years later next to Oscar gold ... a foreshadow to Sunday night? Time will tell, but he’s certainly come a long way since the short film with the funny name.
