On March 2, Hollywood\u2019s A-list worked the red carpet outside of Los Angeles\u2019s Dolby Theatre, ahead of the 97th Academy Awards that honors the best of the best in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
Making their style statements at the last big awards bash of the season, stars pulled out all the stops with their most spectacular looks that included dramatic silhouettes, sweeping gowns, custom suits and a whole lot of sparkle.<\/p>\n
And then there was Adam Sandler.<\/p>\n
Comfy and casual
\n\u201cFor such a prestigious night, it\u2019s important that everyone is properly dressed, okay?\u201d said TV funnyman Conan O\u2019Brien, 61, who was hosting the 2025 Oscars. \u201cYou\u2019re dressed well\u2026Adam\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
During his highly anticipated opening monologue, O\u2019Brien took some shots at Sandler, who was seated in the audience, surrounded by elegant celebrities in their best Oscars\u2019 outfits.<\/p>\n
\u201cConan, what\u2019s up my brother?\u201d said the 58-year-old star of Happy Gilmore, who was sitting in an aisle seat, his head covered by the hood of the light blue sweatshirt that he wore with some shorts and Steph Curry Kicks. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on, man?\u201d<\/p>\n
After O\u2019Brien asks Sandler what he\u2019s wearing, the comedian stutters a bit and strikes back, saying: \u201cNobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien then tells the star of 50 First Dates, \u201cYou\u2019re dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m., Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defending himself in typical Sandler style, the Grown Ups star argued, \u201cYou know what, I like the way I look, because I\u2019m a good person. I don\u2019t care about what I wear or what I don\u2019t wear. If my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front of my peers\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Swiftly apologizing from the stage, O\u2019Brien feigned remorse and looked down at the podium that he stood behind.<\/p>\n
Rising to this feet, Sandler told the audience: \u201cI\u2019m going. I\u2019m leaving, I have to!\u201d<\/p>\n
As the crowd shouted, \u201cno!\u201d and begged him to stay, the comedian joked, \u201cNo, it\u2019s not you, it\u2019s him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pointing at O\u2019Brien, who was trying to contain his laughter through the hilarious exchange, Sandler then said, \u201cYou caused this!\u201d<\/p>\n
Before leaving the ceremony, Sandler told the crowd: \u201cYou are all welcome to join me for a game of five-on-five basketball at Veteran Park tonight. Midnight tip-off. The guy from Nosferatu, he\u2019s on my team,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n
Golden Globes nod
\nNext, Sandler walked down the aisle towards 29-year-old Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, who was nominated for his performance in the 2024 film, A Complete Unknown.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd one more thing. CHALAMET!\u201d Sandler shouted in the actor\u2019s ear, before giving him a hug and leaving the Dolby theatre to the resounding applause from the audience.<\/p>\n
This playful moment was a nod to the Golden Globes earlier this year when host Nikki Glaser joked that Chalamet\u2019s name sounded like something Sandler would say in one of his signature over-the-top voices.<\/p>\n
Glaser put Sandler on the spot, asking him to say Chalamet\u2019s name out loud \u2013 and of course, he delivered in classic Sandler style, earning plenty of laughs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
