Adam Sandler may not have scored an Oscars nomination despite an overwhelmingly positive response to his lead performance in "Uncut Gems," but the actor did appear to get the last laugh at the Independent Spirit Awards one night prior. The 53-year-old actor took the stage at the Spirit Awards to accept the accolade for best male lead for the film, in which he plays a jeweler and gambling addict, where he delivered an epic, expletive-filled speech while mocking the nominees of Sunday night's 92nd Academy Awards. "Tonight, as I look around this room, I realize the Independent Spirit Awards are the best personality awards of Hollywood," Sandler said to the crowd on Saturday (via Variety). The award-winning actor also mocked "Uncut Gems" producer, Scott Rudin. Sandler also thanked his wife, Jackie Sandler, and his daughters, Sadie, 13, and Sunny, 11, for motivating him to take on his role as Howard Ratner in "Uncut Gems."
