This is why Adam Sandler will never win an Oscar?

In an interview, one anonymous voter even cited Sandler's "cheesy Netflix comedies" as the reason for his snub, despite the fact that his portrayal of Howard Ratner should have been judged on its own merits. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that the competition in the Best Actor category that year was incredibly stiff, with performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Adam Driver, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more. When taken in context, it's somewhat understandable why Sandler didn't receive a nomination, but it's still a shame that his legacy had a part to play in the decision.

In a December 2019 interview with Howard Stern, Sandler expressed frustration with the Academy's snub, stating that if he didn't receive a nomination, he would "come back and do one again that is so bad on purpose just to make you all pay." While he didn't receive the Oscar nomination he was hoping for, Sandler did take home the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead for his role in "Uncut Gems," and the Safdie Brothers won in the Best Director(s) category.

Despite these accolades, it's clear that Sandler will always be fighting against his past work in comedy, which can make it difficult for him to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor. During his acceptance speech at the Independent Spirit Awards, Sandler joked about his Oscar snub, comparing it to being overlooked for the "best looking" superlative in high school.

Looking ahead, Sandler's next project is a Netflix comedy called "Hubie Halloween," which he has described as intentionally "so bad." While it remains to be seen whether Sandler will ever receive an Academy Award nomination, it's clear that his performance in "Uncut Gems" was one of his best yet, and a reminder that he is capable of more than just silly comedies.
