"Hello, my name is Adam Sandler. Thank you. I stand before you trembling with thankful glee as I receive this this so-called best actor trophy, independently speaking, of course. First off, it’s great to see our host Aubrey Plaza again. Aubrey and I did a movie entitled Funny People 11 years ago. That was actually the last time critics pretended not to hate me for five fucking minutes. Catch you in another 11 years, Aubrey! I’d like to also give a shout out to my fellow nominees, who will now and forever be known as “the guys who lost to fucking Adam Sandler.” How did that happen? Independent movie? Adam Sandler? “To get my movie I had to live in my car outside of fucking Ralphs, begging for nickels on fucking kickstarter, and all Sandler had to do was get Ted Sarandos stoned.” A few weeks back, when I was quote-unquote snubbed by the Academy, it reminded of when I briefly attended high school and was overlooked for the coveted yearbook superlative category Best Looking. That accolade was given to a jean-jacket-wearing featherhead douchebag by the name of Skipper Jenkins. But my classmates did honor me with the allegedly less-prestigious designation of Best Personality. And tonight, as I look around this room, I realize, the Independent Spirit Awards are the Best Personality awards of Hollywood. So let all those featherhead douchebag motherfuckers get their Oscars tomorrow night! Their handsome good looks will fade in time, while our independent personalities will shine on forever! I’ve got more, I’m sorry, I’ve gotta cruise through this. But in all seriousness, independent films have been a big part of the Adam Sandler ecosystem. From my first film, a fearless look into the American education system through the eyes of a privileged sociopath by the name of Billy Fucking Madison to my searing exploration of American college foosball and its manipulation of socially-challenged athletes like Mister Bobby Boucher, I have tried to sell my truths with a truly independent spirit, while also cashing some truly disturbingly large paychecks. But tonight is about Uncut Gems. I want to thank some people. First off, of course, the person who shares my life, my home, my laughter, my tears: Scott Rudin. Two years ago, Scott said the words that would forever change my life: “No, those aren’t homeless rabbis, those are the Safdie brothers.” No, honestly, I do want to say thank you to the Safdie brothers for believing in me and thinking of me for this part, and I really had the best time getting to know you guys, I love you guys and I’m glad we’re tight now. I also want to say thank you to anybody who ever worked on any of the comedies I did over the years. You guys, I love you, and I’m glad we did all that work together that the Safdies and Noah and everybody liked our stuff enough to put me in their stuff. And I truly want to thank my kids for reading Uncut Gems and saying, “Dad, you’ve gotta fucking do this movie. Fantastic stuff.” And my wife, I love you - thanks for running lines with me and thanks for hanging out with me, and we really had some fun on this one, so I love you. And thanks everybody for - it’s a great night, I appreciate it."

Oscars are more of a popularity contest, less to do with the actual performances. They give priority to popular dramatic actors over less known actors or popular comic actors.

A24 doesn’t have the money

[@blupunk01]

As several prominent Oscar voters have said, they see the award as a career achievement award for actors who have been putting out great work for years, sometimes decades. There may be some voters who give awards in total isolation from the rest of an actor's career, but they do not represent a majority opinion. You don't give the world's most prestigious acting award to someone whose resume looks like Sandler's.

[@gregpitts5157]

Mark Guevarra you’re delusional.

[@addam.mp3]

blupunk01 that just begs the question, why are the Oscar voters imposing their own viewpoint of what it should mean, when this so clearly does not align with what normal viewers thinks it means? i get that they’ve done it this way before, but it becomes so arbitrary that in my opinion all meaning is lost. it becomes a popularity contest where the movie doesn’t even matter, but rather a selective memory of an actor’s “total career”. That totally just makes the results mean even less than they did, and without a doubt varies in the criteria from person to person. it just seems problematic to me when everyone thinks the Oscars names the best actor of the year, when in reality an alterior agenda is pushed where voters fancy themselves a gatekeeper to the acting hall of fame. focus should be taken away from the stubborn “voters” and brought back to the performance itself.

@@addam.mp3 I think because part of their job is protecting the integrity of the award. When people who don't advance the art and the industry win it cheapens the award for everyone else in a way not true of any of the dozens of less prestigious awards out there. Academy Award Winner will be attached to that persons name for the rest of their life and well beyond. I think it's valuable not to think of of the Academy Awards like a race where you win if you cross the finish line first regardless of where you may have placed in every other race. An Oscar is more like and interview for a much better job in a company (and indeed and Academy Award can open doors that would otherwise never have been for actor) where you can't just point to the most recent thing you've done, even if you did a great job at it, and expect the big promotion if the ten things you did before that were all garbage. I know "gatekeeping" has a negative connotation these days, but making certain the people who get past the "gate" into the rarefied air of the of the Oscars is precisely a part of the Academy voters' jobs. There are obviously instances when they fail, and those basically become jokes for decades when performers or films that should have never taken home the statue do.

When I saw the trailer drop, I was so hyped. Adam Sandler, when he acts acts, is wondrous. "Punch Drunk Love" nailed it for me. Since then, I've been waiting for Adam Sandler, the actor, to emerge again. He's done it a few times and I fucking love it. His comedy side is damn fun, too.

[@BikingBeemer]

You should check out the meyerowitz stories, he does a pretty great performance

[@kuremalone78]

I think he always acts acts. He just accepted an award by acting as Adam Sandler.

I’m so lucky to be around during adam sandler era I’ve watched 95% of his films and most of my quotes in every day life are off his films .. constantly funny and seems a genuinely honest and decent guy ... he’s a role model to actors on how he presents himself even with his millions of dollers he is just one of the guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏 keep up the great entertaining work mr sandler us here in the uk love ya

A monster of a performance by Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. It is a tense thriller from start to finish.

Finally a speech I could watch without wanting to smash my TV screen! Adam Sandler is a gem!

[@robertdraper5782]

I can't say I've ever rated Adam Sandler's acting ability or found him funny but his performance in Uncut Gems was outstanding, I hope to see more of him in dramatic roles in the future.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

He's a lot funnier than you Einstein :-)

[@TollusRollus]

Go watch Punch Drunk Love.

[@ozu2647]

MagicAyrtonforever but Robert doesn’t make money from his humor. Sandler is a funny and talented guy, but most of his hate comes from him not using his talent or any humor in his movies and somehow continuing to have a career

Should have gotten these Oscar noms: Lead actor Original screenplay Film editing Original score And maybe director(s)

[@recostume3578]

Adam is so amazing! Love his early comedy movies and even his new ones are sometimes a guilty mindless indulgence for me. His more serious roles, uncut gems and punch drunk love, both amazing. Hope he does more. Awesome speech too!

Grew up watching him. I don’t know why people dislike him so much. Big Daddy still one of my favorite movies
