11. Jennifer Lawrence And Amy Adams Were Paid Less Than Male Stars For American Hustle
Damning business practices at Sony have also come to light, namely that Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were paid 7% of American Hustle's back-end profits, while male co-stars Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner received 9%. Given how significant and lauded Lawrence's and Adams' performances were (especially in comparison to Renner, the only one of the five who wasn't nominated for an Academy Award), it doesn't really make sense that they were given less of the pie. Another troubling reveal came later when it was discovered that of the 17 SPE executives earning over $1 million annually, only a single one, Amy Pascal herself, was a woman.
