Sandler, though, has managed to find a silver lining to the apparent snub. On Monday, after the nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards were released, Sandler processed the news and managed to find something good to focus on. “Bad news: Sandman gets no love from the Academy.” Sandler [tweeted](https://twitter.com/AdamSandler/status/1216750665923325952) on Monday. “Good news: Sandman can stop wearing suits.” > [](https://twitter.com/AdamSandler/status/1216750665923325952) The actor also shared his happiness for his friends whose work was recognized by the Academy. “Congrats to all my friends who got nominated, especially Mama,” he tweeted, including a picture of Kathy Bates, who was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her work in the film, [_Richard Jewell_](https://time.com/5747412/richard-jewell-clint-eastwood-review/). On Sandler’s snub, [_TIME’s_ Andrew Chow opined](https://time.com/5763723/oscar-nominations-snubs-surprises-2020/) that perhaps _Uncut Gems_ was “too complicated for an easy elevator pitch” and had “an aesthetic style that strayed from warm uplift.” While the lack of recognition undoubtedly stung, at least that means Sandler can be home on his couch in comfortable clothing, watching the Oscars like the rest of us civilians. Of course, it wasn’t long before Bates responded in kind. > [](https://twitter.com/MsKathyBates/status/1216778724609126405) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5763816/adam-sandler-2020-oscars/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5763816/adam-sandler-2020-oscars/"},"headline":"Leave it to Adam Sandler to Find the Silver Lining in His 2020 Oscars Snubs","datePublished":"2020-01-13T18:14:47.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T20:00:45.000Z","description":"The \"Uncut Gems\" star managed to look on the bright side to the snub","url":"https://time.com/5763816/adam-sandler-2020-oscars/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Adam Sandler","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ecb87c751fdd66f/698a08c0e76ad2b636637169/AdamSandlerOscars2020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ecb87c751fdd66f/698a08c0e76ad2b636637169/AdamSandlerOscars2020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AARP The Magazine's 19th Annual Movies For Grownups Awards - Arrivals + Awards Presentation","caption":"Adam Sandler on 2020 Oscars","creditText":"Getty Images for AARP-2019 Michael Kovac","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5763816/adam-sandler-2020-oscars/","name":"Leave it to Adam Sandler to Find the Silver Lining in His 2020 Oscars Snubs"}}]}] ```
