ADAM SANDLER isn’t exactly known as a CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED actor.
But yesterday, the National Board of Review gave him a Best Actor award for “Uncut Gems”, an upcoming crime thriller that hits theaters on December 13th.
This is the first LEGIT acting award he’s received, although he’s won Teen Choice Awards, Kids’ Choice Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and MTV Movie Awards, not to mention nine Razzies, and dozens of Razzie nominations.
The closest Adam has come to a serious acting award was when he scored a Golden Globe nomination for “Punch Drunk Love” in 2002. But he didn’t win.
This could be the dawn of a new day for Adam. Although this Best Actor win from the National Board of Review is the first one, he’s also received nominations and recognition from the Gotham Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards, and the Satellite Awards.
And there’s an outside chance he could get some love from the Oscars.
