Ben Affleck picked up another honour last night when he received the filmmaker of the year award at the 2013 UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television's Film Festival in LA. Last Saturday, Ben picked up the guy of the year award at the Guys Choice Awards, which aired on Spike TV on Wednesday. Despite picking up two awards in less than a week, Ben has been scaling back on his work duties while Jennifer Garner increases her workload with several new projects. Jennifer is currently filming Draft Day in Ohio with Kevin Costner and has signed on for two other gigs, including the highly anticipated film adaptation of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. While Jennifer is off filming, Ben has been hanging out with Violet and the rest of his little ones ahead of the North America's upcoming Father's Day.

It was a star-studded night at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards inside Sony Pictures Studio in LA today. The show may have been about the boys, including Bradley Cooper, guy of the year winner Ben Affleck, and Vince Vaughn, but there were plenty of ladies in attendance as well. Jennifer Aniston made a sexy appearance on stage as she presented Jimmy Kimmel with the funniest M.F. honour and Jessica Alba rocked two different dresses during the event. Amy Adams met up with her Man of Steel cast to take home the most anticipated movie of the year statue, and later mingled backstage with Bradley, who brought his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse along as his date. Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde were on hand for the fun as was Jake Gyllenhaal. There were plenty more famous faces in the crowd so click through to see them all!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner cheered on their daughter Seraphina as she crossed the finish line at her track meet on Sunday in Pacific Palisades. Along with her proud parents, Sera also had the support of older sister Violet, who helped her younger sister prep for her race by accompanying for her pre-run stretches. It was a loving afternoon for Jen and Ben, who showed PDA in the stands. Adding to the family fun, Ben also treated his daughters to a trip to the farmers market that day as well.

Seraphina is not the only one in the family to receive praise for her accomplishments. It was recently announced that Ben will receive an honorary doctorate from Brown University on May 26. It's the season for special recognition, as Ben's best friend Matt Damon just got an award last week from Harvard. Ben will also participate in Live Below the Line, where for one day he will consume less than $1.50 worth of food and drink.

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their daughters, Violet and Seraphina, had a family outing in LA on Saturday. Boston native Ben wore a Red Sox hat for a stop with his girls at Brentwood Country Mart, where he also showed PDA with his wife. He's been keeping his hometown in mind since the Boston Marathon bombings paralysed the town last week. Ben made his support known on his Twitter account, sharing, "Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston."

Although Ben and Jen were joined by the girls for the weekend stop, they were able to sneak in alone time together. The couple kicked off the weekend with a Friday night dinner date, and they also ran errands as a duo following Jen's 41st birthday last Wednesday.

Ben Affleck caught up with Rachel McAdams on the red carpet at the LA premiere of their newest film, To the Wonder. Rachel wore a black lace dress as she greeted Ben and their co-star Olga Kurylenko, who took a break from her promotional duties for Oblivion to attend the event. Plenty of other stars turned out for the movie's debut, including Homeland's Morena Baccarin, Zachary Levi, and How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor. During the premiere, Ben discussed how he and Jennifer Garner balance their busy schedules with their family life. Jennifer recently revealed that she is happy to work less for Ben, but now that she's got new projects on the horizon Ben is picking up more home duties. He said, "I'm preparing myself to take on some more of the burden [at home]. She's got a couple of movies coming up, so it's going to be a little Mr. Mum action, and I'm going to get back in the ring and we're going to see if I still have it."

Rachel has been spending her time in LA working on her press duties for the film. She stopped by Disneyland with her friends and family earlier this month and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, where she revealed that she got hallucinations after buying pot in her native Toronto.
