The last thing you expect someone to wear at the Oscars is a hoodie and gym shorts. That is exactly what Adam Sandler wore to the Oscars this year. The Oscars is an annual event and is considered to be prestigious by all attendees. Celebrities and influential people in Hollywood are dressed to the nines for the ceremony.
However, at the beginning of the ceremony, 2025 Oscars host Conan O'Brien asked Sandler what he was wearing. To this, Sandler responded:
“Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up,” Sandler yelled at host Conan O'Brien. “I like the way I look. Because I’m a good person. I don’t care about what I wear and what I don’t wear. My snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front my peers!” Sandler responded.
Before leaving the Oscars, Adam Sandler went up to Timothée Chalamet and yelled "Chalamet" in Timothée's ear.
What did fans think of Adam Sandler's "look" for the 2025 Oscars?
While some think the whole act is funny, others believe that there is some political satire going on between Conan O'Brien and Adam Sandler's dialogues. Some even picked up the choice of colors that Sandler is wearing: a light blue hoodie with a logo on it, along with dark blue shorts. He wore yellow metallic-looking basketball sneakers to the event.
Even Sandler going up to Chalamet, who was wearing bright yellow, might have been part of the satire. Here are a few things X users had to say:
One user was unsure if the interaction between O'Brien and Sandler was real or scripted. They commented:
"Is this real??" - @taysbelle asked.
Since Sandler was not nominated this year, one user wrote:
"Maybe that’ll be his consolation prize" - @zoerandall145 said.
Another user commented:
"Obviously it is about Trump mocking Zelensky" - @AR_Linares pointed out.
While another fan commented:
"Publicity stunt done right. <3" - @MiximumDennis appreciated.
Adam Sandler can be considered a "chill guy," coming to the Oscars dressed as casually as possible. Sandler managed to get a few laughs from the audience, and some were even disappointed when he stood up to leave, not before inviting everyone for a 5 v 5 basketball game at Veteran Park.
