Movie Filmed in Medford Nominated for Best Picture

David O. Russell’s “American Hustle”, which filmed in Medford and the local area, has been nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture. The film is about the FBI’s Abscam public corruption investigation in the 1970’s. Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, and Bradley Cooper were spotted in the area.
