While shooting in Boston, David O. Russell?s upcoming fictionalization of the Abscam investigation, ?American Hustle,? found itself caught up in the Boston Marathon bombing. When the city was essentially shut down for the manhunt, the production had to be stopped for a day. The experience, Russell says, was felt closely by the production.

It was a tough night for "American Hustle" at Sunday's 2014 Oscars as the glitzy film ended the night without a single statue.

"American Hustle" was nominated for a total of 10 awards: Best Picture, Actor in a Leading Role for Christian Bale, Actress in a Leading Role for Amy Adams, Actor in a Supporting Role for Bradley Cooper, Actress in a Supporting Role for Jennifer Lawrence, Costume Design for Michael Wilkinson, Best Director for David O. Russell, Best Film Editing, and Best Production Design.

The star-studded film was beat out by the Best Picture-winning "12 Years a Slave," Cate Blanchett who took Best Actress for "Blue Jasmine" and Matthew McConaughey who won Best Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club."

The 10 nominations for "American Hustle" without a win is close to the record for the Academy. "The Turning Point" [1977] was up for 11 Oscars without winning a single award, as was 1985's "The Color Purple."
