‘Silver Linings Playbook’ First Film in 31 Years Nominated in All 4 Acting Categories for Oscars
The romantic comedy-drama film released in November 2012 accomplished a feat that has not been done in over 30 years. The film is competing in all possible acting categories for the Academy Awards, with Jennifer Lawrence in the Best Actress category, Robert De Niro for Best Supporting Actor, and Bradley Cooper up for Best Actor. Additionally, actress Jacki Weaver was nominated for Best Supporting Actress as De Niro’s forbearing wife. The last film to accomplish this was “Reds” (1981), and in fact, only 14 films in history have accomplished this feat. Directed by David O. Russell, if this film sweeps all the acting categories, it will be the first film to ever do so in the 85 year history of the Academy Awards. I saw this movie last December, and I truly believe the actors/actresses deserved their nomination. Each performance was almost flawless, and the movie was the epitome of what a romantic comedy/drama should be, where the characters cleverly develop throughout the movie, and the dramatic and comedic elements were cunningly put into the movie’s situations and dialogue, and balanced each other out very well. Out of the many movies I saw in 2012, “Silver Linings Playbook” was easily one of the best, if not the best.
Movie-ng On 
I agree. The actors performances in this film were great! It was a fun movie to review..
I saw silver linings playbook last week and really liked it
I really like how you are going to write about movies because that is one of the many things that I love to read about. I was excited to see the first movie you wrote about also because I saw it and loved it too. I am from near Philly and the movie made me feel like home with the way they portrayed Eagles fans and Italian families. Overall, I also think it was one of my favorite movies of the year and deserves many of the Oscars that it is nominated for. I am excited to keep reading your blog over the semester!
