Not only has Adam Sandler never won an Academy Award, but he has never even been nominated, but one of his upcoming movies could give him another chance. The comedy actor and former Saturday Night Live performer has starred in tons of iconic '90s and 2000s comedies, and his style of comedy has become a brand. While he's known for his silly performances and putting on goofy accents, such as Bobby Boucher, Jr.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT His stand-out performances have helped those films win some major awards, as Punch-Drunk Love earned Paul Thomas Anderson a Best Director win at Cannes Film Festival, and Uncut Gems won a ton of awards across the board. But though those films got Sandler tons of acclaim, they never earned him an Academy Award nomination, despite deserving one for both movies.
Adam Sandler's Trading Card Movie Could Be An Oscar Contender Sandler's closest shot at getting nominated for an Oscar was in the Safdie brothers-directed Uncut Gems. It was a brave role, as Sandler wasn't afraid to make himself look so pathetic in a non-comedic role. Sandler played Howard Ratner in the 2019 movie, and the character was a low-life, lying, cheating, gambler who repeatedly put himself before his family.
However, the Safdie brothers will be working with Sandler again for their next project. The actor is reuniting with the visionary filmmakers for an untitled movie about trading cards. Not much is known about the movie other than that Sandler is excited about it, it'll feature Megan Thee Stallion, and that it could be extremely long. Sandler explained that the Safdie brothers' script is 340 pages long.
3 Of Adam Sandler’s 4 Upcoming Movies Are Netflix Comedies Unfortunately, while Adam Sandler's upcoming movie with the Safdie brothers could potentially lead to an Oscar nomination, it's the only one of his next four movies that stands a chance. The actor's other upcoming movies are Netflix exclusives.
