Amy Adams, Aaron Tveit: Oscar Red Carpet

Amy Adams on the Oscar 2013 red carpet

Amy Adams, a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nominee for Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, arrives at the Oscar 2013 ceremony. Amy Adams’ competitors consisted of eventual winner Anne Hathaway for Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables, Sally Field for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, Jacki Weaver for David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook, and Helen Hunt for Ben Lewin’s The Sessions.

Amy Adams had three previous Oscar nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category: Phil Morrison’s Junebug (2005); John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt (2008), with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman; and David O. Russell’s The Fighter (2010), opposite Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Melissa Leo.

Two more Best Supporting Actress nods and Amy Adams will match Thelma Ritter’s six nominations in that category. For the record, Ritter’s nods were for Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s All About Eve (1950), Mitchell Leisen’s The Mating Season (1951), Walter Lang’s With a Song in My Heart (1952), Samuel Fuller’s Pickup on South Street (1953), Michael Gordon’s Pillow Talk (1959), and John Frankenheimer’s Birdman of Alcatraz (1962). Ritter, by the way, never won.
