I saw American Hustle last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good story, good acting, funny. It banked at the Golden Globes (the best awards show IMHO because they sit at tables and party) and has some good nominations for the Oscar:

"American Hustle," a story about con artists based loosely on the late 1970s Abscam scandal, tied for the lead with 10 nominations. The movie was nominated in several major categories, including picture, director (David O. Russell), actor (Christian Bale), actress (Amy Adams), supporting actor (Bradley Cooper), supporting actress (Jennifer Lawrence) and adapted screenplay.

I'm completely uninterested in The Hunger Games stuff, but Jennifer Lawrence is so damn versatile. If you watch her in Winter's Bone, then see her in American Hustle...night and day. She's just a wonderful actress.
I keep forgetting Christian Bale's name because his character looks so different from him. His comb-over is the stuff of legends.
Bradley Cooper looks great in his 70s tight perm.
Amy Adams...just beautiful.
Has anyone else seen it?
