  1. Good to know that there's something out there for Wolf of Wall Street. Dramatic late charge on the season might prove too much. Early word was little too exaggerated, perhaps.
    Who said American Hustle was mixed bag? Look at those nominations, its everywhere. In every critics' circle nominations, SAG, Globe. 95 at RT with 94 reviews in. And we can expect it to get some two dozens nominations in BFCA, come this monday in some ridiculous categories. Its clearly going to be a force. Russell is in, no need to hustle, now. Every actor'd be dying to work under him.

    1. American Hustle remains a formidable contender. It could easily walk away with major Oscar gold come March. And I expect The Wolf of Wall Street's fortunes to improve as more people get a chance to see it.
