Adam Sandler is reacting to the surprise Oscar buzz for his dramatic performance in the Safdie brothers’ thriller, Uncut Gems.
The actor, 53, best known for his comedies including Billy Madison (1995), 50 First Dates (2004) and his recent Netflix hit, Murder Mystery, now stars as Howard Ratner, a New York City jeweler who takes life-threatening risks.
The A24 film premiered to strong reviews at the Telluride Film Festival in August, and on Thursday had its New York premiere at the New York Film Festival where it drew more praise, with many industry observers saying Sandler has a shot at next year’s Best Actor Oscar.
