Adam Sandler doesn't really care what you think. In a 2024 interview, the actor was asked about his utterly singular personal style, which he distilled thusly: “Whatever's in the closet, I grab it. I don't think about it much. Most people make fun of me, but I keep moving.”

Adam Sandler went full Billy Madison during a bit at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday night. During his opening monologue, Oscars host Conan O’Brien took it upon himself to act as fashion police and told the celebrity-studded crowd that it was of utmost importance “that everyone is properly dressed” for the event.

Oscars were full of unforgettable moments, but one stood out in particular—Adam Sandler’s unexpected outburst during the opening monologue. The incident divided viewers on whether it was a staged bit or an actual “f*** you” moment to the awards show.
