David O Russell He has also managed to sneak his film into the most important sections, film, direction, the four acting categories, script and editing, as he did last year with "Silver Linings Palybook", and this time he adds nominations for best costume design and better production design.
To be one of the most nominated and one of the three great aspirants to Oscar for best picture, it may not prevent «American Hustle»Leaves the Oscar gala empty, becoming the third that does not take any Academy Award despite having ten nominations along with" Gangs of New York "and" True Grit "and staying one step away from the Biggest losers in the history of the Academy Awards, "The Color Purple" and "Decisive Step" who went empty after winning eleven nominations.
Everything points to the award to best film it's going to finally go to "Twelve Years a Slave" or "Gravity," both winners of the Producers Guild Award in a historic tie. And in the category of best director It seems that Alfonso Cuarón is going to establish himself as the first Mexican director to win the Oscar, and although this was not the case in the end, it seems that the other option is for the award to go to Steve McQueen.
In the interpretive categories, despite the fact that the film won the SAG Award for best cast, the only one that seems to have options is Jennifer Lawrence, whose rival is Lupita Nyong'o. Amy AdamsDespite having won the Golden Globe for best comedy actress, it does not seem that she will be able to beat a Cate Blanchett who has half an Oscar in her pocket after sweeping the main awards. Christian Bale y Bradley Cooper They are ruled out for the best actor and best supporting actor awards except for great surprise.
In the more artistic categories, the better production design and better Costume Design, "The Great Gatsby" seems to be the great favorite and the award for best editing one could say that it already bears the name of "Gravity", so perhaps the section for best original screenplay is the one that saves "American Hustle" of having to accept one of the biggest losses in Oscars history.
Nor will it be easy to get the award for best Original screenplaySince another of the great favorites for this award is "Her", a film that stands out above all in this section, and also, "Nebraska" should not be ruled out for this award.
Unless he is surprised and "American Hustle" wins the award for best film and best director, the options for David O. Russell's film are to win the awards for best supporting actress for Jennifer Lawrence, best original screenplay. and maybe one of the artistic awards, to which it is nominated.
