Adam Sandler finds the positives after Oscar snub for Uncut Gems

It’s been a month since Adam Sandler had lightheartedly threatened on The Howard Stern Show to make a horrible film on purpose if he didn’t bag an Oscar for his performance in the 2019 crime-drama Uncut Gems. Now, the academy has officially snubbed the movie across all categories! Sandler portrayed the role of a charismatic jeweller Howard Ratner, who works in the Manhattan diamond district. His role in the film was widely held as proof by many in the industry and fans that the actor was indeed more than capable of going beyond goofball comedies. He was also acclaimed by Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang, who called his performance in Uncut Gems the best of his acting career.
