Adam Sandler has responded to his movie Uncut Gems being snubbed by this year’s Oscars.

 

2020’s Oscar nominations were announced earlier today (January 13). Joker leads the way with 11 nods, while 1917, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Irishman follow behind closely with 10 nominations each. But one movie surprised many by missing the cut: Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems.

 

Directed by Josh and Benny Safdie (Good Time, Heaven Knows What), Uncut Gems is set in the Manhattan diamond district and centres on Howard Ratner, an acquisitive, charismatic jeweller played by Sandler. It also stars The Weeknd.

 

 

The universally acclaimed movie proved that Sandler was more than just goofball comedies, but it seems the Academy doesn’t think so with the adrenaline-filled thriller not getting a single nomination.

I understand why. The ending ruined the movie for me.

Sandler is a very competent dramatic actor. His performances in Spanglish, Reign over me, and Funny people were amazing. I have not seen Uncut gems yet. Whether or not it is oscar worthy is quite subjective, but after earning over $400,000,000 from his comedy performances, and film, he has little to complain about. And it is likely due to his amazing comedic success, that the academy will never honor him. Get used to it.
