Notes:

American Hustle (2013) is easily one of the best movies for 2013. David O. Russell shows us why he is one of the best film directors today. The cast by their names alone is a dream team, but, with the excellent portrayals of leads Christian Bale and Amy Adams, supports Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner it's like a dream come true--who else can you ask for? The only downside of this film is that it is slow-paced that it might lose you to sleep.

For your consideration:

• Acting: Christian Bale as Irving Rosenfeld
• Acting: Amy Adams as Sydney Prosser
• Acting: Jennifer Lawrence as Rosalyn Rosenfeld
• Acting: Bradley Cooper as Richie DiMaso
• Acting: Jeremy Renner as Mayor Carmine Polito
• Film of the Year
