Among the already seen Oscar hopefuls, Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’ may be the one most gushed over, but the most awarded so far has got to be ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, the David O. Russell directed comedy. It was given the prestigious Audience Award at the Toronto Film Festival, with the aforementioned ‘Argo’ the runner-up, but ‘Silver Linings Playbook‘ this weekend added that same award from the Hamptons Film Festival, so it’s certainly not a fluke. After the jump you can see all the awards given out at the fest, but these two films are shaping up to be ones to fear come Oscar time. More to come on both in the upcoming days and weeks, but read on below for more about what happened out in the Hamptons at their festival…
