Adam Sandler may not be nominated at this year’s Oscars, but that didn’t stop the actor and comedian from crashing Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue at the top of the ceremony. Sandler was roasted by the host for dressing so casually at Hollywood’s biggest night.
“Adam, what are you wearing?” O’Brien asked Sandler from the stage. “You’re dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m.”

“Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up,” Sandler responded. “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!”
The segment then saw Sandler electing to leave the ceremony, much to the dissatisfaction of the audience, but not before shouting out one particular nominee for the evening.
“Chalamet!” he yelled into Timothée Chalamet’s ear in a typically Sandlerian growl, giving the yellow-clad “A Complete Unknown” a big hug and drawing laughs from the crowd.
