But after losing to Adam Driver during Monday night’s Gotham Awards, Sandler has his sights set on an Oscars statue. Driver won Best Actor for his work in “Marriage Story”.

While chatting with Stern, Sandler joked that if he doesn’t score an Academy Award nomination, he’ll retaliate.

He added, “That’s how I get them.”
