I'm really looking forward to this one…the cast is amazing and it's a terrific (true life) story. Jennifer Lawrence's role, as Mel Weinberg's wife, Marie looks to be yet another great part for Lawrence, as is the role of Serena and so different, too. David O. Russell, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence could very well score another nomination (or two, if Lawrence is nominated for both Serena as well as the untitled Russell film) in 2014.

Wrong information – Chris Terio (Argo) is the writer. And Jennifer has a small part in the film, very unlikely she'll get a nomination. Her chances this year are with Serena.

The reason there were so many rewrites is because it turns out that Mel Weinberg (who's involved with this, as he was in a failed project in 1982) was not the likable conman being portrayed in the original script. His behavior had actually caused his 50-year old wife Marie(Lawrence) to commit suicide. The original script had an amicable break-up with Weinberg, with him even complimenting her in the last scene.

@Amanda David rewrote Jen's part for her. The script you've read (which is the one everyone has) is the old one. She could be up for a supporting role nomination. And she will be there if the movie and her co-stars are nominated.

Lawrence only has a couple of scenes so the only reason for her to get another dress is to present Best Actor.

I don't know why but I'm thinking this movie will be a movie much like Argo; not getting many acting nominations, they may squeeze a nomination or two but I can't see this hitting big like The Fighter and SLP when it comes to acting nominations.

Miss Amy Adams is an amazing actress and so is Miss Lawrence, Adams more so but I'm thinking she's gonna win the year she'll play Janis Joplin. Lawrence won't get a nomination for the tiny part she's playing, if she is nominated next year it will be for Serena but I highly doubt it when 2013 is an AMAZING year for actresses in film. Meryl, Julia Roberts, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and many legendary actresses. I don't see it coming but either way Lawrence will pick up another dress, she'll present the Oscar for Leading Actor if they stick with the tradition.

Is Amy Adams lead? She sounds pretty borderline. Imagine, her 5th nomination before 40, and she still might not win…

if this movie went well,david would be nominated,but why JL too? I thought AA would have more scene than her and still be nominated as supporting actress…if JL's nominated it'd be serena. anyways,they're both overrated:/
