Sounds like whoever is hyping him has one helluva a buzz too.

But no, he is getting serious buzz for his supporting role in the Meyerowitz Stories, which has a great cast, and is written and directed by Noah Baumbach.

He was nominated for a few things for PunchDrunk Love, so its not unprecedented.

I just want to make sure we're talking about the star of Little Nicky, Jack & Jill, and You Don't Mess with a Zohan.

Little Nicky doesn't belong on that list

He won't get an Oscar nomination for the same reason Jim Carrey didn't get a nomination for the Truman Show.

Agree. And if anything brought that movie down, it was the iffy production values, not Sandler (not that he hasn't stunk it up in a lot of stuff in the last few years).

That was a crime. If Robin Williams were the lead in that movie (he's the only other actor I can see portraying Truman), he would have won for sure.

I seen Robert Pattinson got the same response so let us pump the brakes here.

If true, good for him.

I'm not the biggest fan of his style of comedy, but after watching Punch Drunk Love, I was convinced that he's plenty talented enough to be a legitimate actor.

I would love it if he actually did an amazing movie, won an Oscar, and then turned around to do another straight up turd. And he told the general public he was doing it because frick them

This is a Noah Baumbach movie, so it's the antithesis of a typical Adam Sandler movie. Basically it will be an ensemble cast of neurotic New Yorkers mumbling and having a mildly interesting revelation about life at the end of a slow-progressing film.

Sandler is capable.

His big problem is generally him taking shitty projects in order to work with his friends and/or film at desirable destinations.

The Cannes audience are a bunch of pretentious twats. Everything either gets a 10-minute standing ovation or gets booed.
