American Hustle may not have won any Oscars, despite being nominated for 10 of the damn things, but that didn’t stop the cast and crew from participating in Academy Conversations.

This saw the cast and crew of American Hustle talking about the film and the experience of making it.

Taking part were David O. Russell, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, and Bradley Cooper.

This is an interesting video for all fans of the film, as it gives some background to American Hustle.

As usual, Bale comes across as an intense individual, which is probably what makes him such a fine actor.
