Adam Sandler didn’t get the 2020 Oscars nomination he absolutely deserved as the lead actor in Uncut Gems.
But at least he still has his sense of humor about missing out on a shot at an Academy Award.
The actor and comedian tweeted not long after the nominations were announced and gave the world a perfectly solid good news/bad news scenario: he lost out on a nomination, but the man known for having more casual sartorial choices no longer has to wear suits to premieres and to the Oscar ceremony. Also: shoutout to The Waterboy star Kathy Bates for her 2020 nomination for Richard Jewell!
Bad news: Sandman gets no love from the Academy.
Good news: Sandman can stop wearing suits.
Congrats to all my friends who got nominated, especially Mama. pic.twitter.com/o1Ep3E7GRB— Adam Sandler (@AdamSandler) January 13, 2020
The Safdie brothers, who directed Sandler, gave him some love:
Love you sandman

As for what’s next for Sandler? Back in December, per Entertainment Weekly, he told Howard Stern, “If I don’t get (an Oscar nomination), I’m going to (expletive) come back and do one again that is so bad on purpose just to make you all pay. That’s how I get them.”
