Amy Lou Adams (born August 20, 1974) is an American actress. She is known for both her comedic and dramatic performances. She has received several awards, including two Golden Globe Awards, and has been nominated for five Academy Awards, four for Best Supporting Actress and one for Best Actress.

In 2013 Amy Adams starred with David O. Russell in the crime film American Hustle, co-starring Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence. Inspired by the 1970s Abscam scandal, the film featured Adams in the rare glamorous part of a seductive con artist Sydney Prosser, though she played it so that "everything felt justified and it didn’t feel like she was just a sexy sociopath".

American Hustle was acclaimed by critics; Manohla Dargis of The New York Times believed that Adams "goes deeper here than she’s ever been allowed to" and wrote that she had successfully "turned an unpredictable character into a thrillingly wild one". She won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and received her fifth Oscar nomination (her first for Best Actress). Her and American Hustle were deemed by critics to be among the best films of 2013, and they were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
