Actor Adam Sandler recently took aim at the Academy and so many of its nominees after once again sharing that he was overlooked at the Oscar Awards when it came down to nominations.
At a public event that was held ahead of this year's awards season, the veteran star voiced his dismay and extreme frustration over the lack of recognition for his performance in Jay Kelly, which is a movie that earned him praise from critics across the board.

The joke, which played on crude language, was aimed at highlighting what he saw as Hollywood's obsession with pleasing insiders instead of rewarding actual talent.
