Amy Adams will not win this award, and her movie isn’t out yet. But dammit, I want to see the girl win eventually. Adams continually surprises me with her range and incredible depth as an actress, and every time I think I’ve seen everything she can do, she throws me a fastball. In American Hustle, Adams gets her first sex kitten role and she’s clearly living for the opportunity to unleash her inner femme fatale. As always, I can’t wait to see what she does next.
