David O. Russell, who, you may recall, had some awards-season success with last year’s Silver Linings Playbook, looks to be on track for another season of trophies with American Hustle. Russell re-teams with his Playbook pairing of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper — and adds Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner for the upcoming film, which took not only Best Picture at the NYFCCs, but Best Screenplay for Russell and Best Supporting Actress for Lawrence.
The NYFCCs aren’t always a great predictor for the Oscars, but the winners likely won’t mind the accolades.
