To celebrate the American DVD release of American Hustle, four deleted scenes have been released, and we can watch them in the UK even though it's barely out of the cinema. Surely, though, you've seen it to lend your support after it missed out on basically all of the Oscars?

If you haven't, you really should. Half-improv, half-scripted, it throws up some great performances, some beautiful hair andvery quotable lines ('you're nothing until you're everything' is one we've seen doing the rounds on the social media accounts of particularly emotional friends)

Whatever your reason for not seeing it (a Breaking Bad boxset addiction, a fear of Bradley Cooper's perm, a distaste for having to watch films in the company of strangers at a cinema), don't watch/read the below if you don't want spoilers, apart from this clip of Jennifer Lawrence lip-syncing, for four minutes, in one take, to Santana's Evil Ways, all in character as Rosalyn, a drunk, depressed New Jersey housewife. There's absolutely no spoiler in that. You can watch that over on Buzzfeed.

The second clip (available here on Entertainment Weekly) features Christian Bale's character, Irving, teaching Amy Adams's character, Sydney how to 'cry British' as she attempts to get into character (within the film she pretends she is British so as to con FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) out of lots of money and get him into massive legal trouble.

In the third clip, Jeremy Renner's Mayor Polito gets livid when he's trying to show a rich Sheikh his area only to have some kids vandalise the car they're travelling in. This clip is worth it for Richie's cringey closing shot.

And in the fourth clip, Sydney begs Irving to divorce Rosalyn so that she can no longer be a threat to all of their criminal mastermindery.
