Dat plunging neckline. :o
 
LOL when I saw Bale at the trailer, I thought that he changed his posture for the role and it looks like I was right. :funny:

The man is really committed to his roles lol.
 
I thought Bale was just wearing something on his stomach. It can't be healthy for him to keep gaining and losing so much weight.
 
He's not huge but I think it was pretty obvious that he gained weight. He likes doing stuff like that
 
From Jennifer's September Vogue cover interview:

Lawrence was supposed to take a break between Catching Fire and X-Men, but during the Oscar-victory lap for Silver Linings, Russell asked her to play Christian Bale’s wife in American Hustle—and then wrote the part of Rosalyn expressly for her. “Rosalyn is 100 percent a product of David’s imagination,” she says. “She’s a manic-depressive alcoholic, and I couldn't wait. Plus, I got to make out with Christian Bale.”

Russell can barely contain his glee at how completely his new muse embraced her first truly adult part—up to and including the oversize fur, the smoky-purple sunglasses, and the frosted updo. “It’s a character who is kind of an unhinged, intense, manipulative, brilliant, but also soulful and heartbreaking Long Island housewife. And that was exciting to her. She has a genuine, in-her-blood joy in the inhabitation of other people.”

I am as well. I would say I can't wait to see reviews but I don't really care what the critics think of the film I'm seeing it anyway. Russell is a terrific actors director and a good director over all. And the cast is amazing.
 
Yeah, this is easily my most anticipated movie of the "Oscar Bait" season. It looks fantastic and you can't beat that cast. I think this is the movie that will land Bale that Best Actor Oscar, although he looks like he's amazing in Out of the Furnace as well.
 
I don't know I've been frequenting those Oscar sites and the competition looks tough. But I definitely wouldn't count out a Russell film when it comes to acting noms. The Fighter had three and SLP had four noms so it would be dumb to count out AH. I love Bale but who I'm really rooting for is Amy Adams because she hasn't won before.
 
True. Amy has been nominated so many times; it would be great to see her get a win.

Who are you hearing are the other frontrunners for Best Actor this year? I haven't been paying much attention.

Ejiofor, Redford, McConaughey(Dallas Buyers). Im bettering Ejiofor for the win.
 
Ah, okay. Well, Twelve Years a Slave does look powerful and Ejiofer is fantastic so I'd be happy to see him win too. Redford has enough accolades, IMO. McConaughey has been killing it lately, so I'd be okay with him too.
 
Yeah, in a weaker year, Bale could've been a shoo-in with either this or Out of the Furnace (Kris Tapley said Bale gave a "career best" and a very nuanced performance in that one) but with how strong this year is for Lead Actors, I'm not counting on him getting in.

As for Amy, I think she has a much better shot of winning if she's campaigned in Supporting. It would be much cooler though for her to win in Lead given how she's also in Supporting.
 
I wish they made one for Louie.
 
'American Hustle' and 'Out of the Furnace' are the last 2 movies of 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing.

Can't wait!
 
I'd feel better about this movie if it had a Breaking Bad castmember. :o


But that really goes for everything, so...
