Was it able to bring his first nomination of the Oscar

Maybe it’s time for the academy to call “Sandman”.

Adam Sandler It was one of the Hollywood’s most beautiful stars for a long time, but his work in Noam Baumbachu “Jay Kelly“He could finally land where critics and cinefiles wanted to see him for a long time: in Oscar’s race.

American Prime Minister on Telluride Film Festival Marked a moment that defines a career for Sandler, who joined Baumbach and Co-Star Lauri Dern on stage while the film worker received the silver tribute to the medallion. Dern, who won his / her support for the Oscar for Baumbach “Marital Story” (2018), praised her a long-term co-worker, while Sandler was reflected in Boombach’s ability to “write the most beautiful words”.

Despite the dominance of his Box office, Sandler is rarely considered a serious candidate for the Academy Awards. Over the years, critics flagged their work in movies like Paul Thomas Anderson “From” Frenetie “Uncut Gems” and Jeremiah Zagar’s basketball drama “Hustle”, who deserved the nomination of the Saga. Nevertheless, Oscar Kim remained elusive.

In “Jai Kelly”, Sandler Game Ron, dedicated to a manager with a fictitious movie star Jai Kelly, PortTraio George Clooney. This is a type of character that could strongly resonate voters – a man who sacrifice for the art and legacy of another, mirror of neEmeredna agents and managers who make up Hollywood run.

Some could see similiarities in more roles in James L. Brooks of movies like Jack Nicholson in “Conditions of Love” (1983) and could put it on a run that could imitate omparonke Robert Downei Jr. They are winning the Academy “Oppenheimer”, where the Academy finally rewarded an appreciable veteran. This will all depend on how good “Jay Kelly” as a whole with the academy.

Although Clooney provides a star wape for the movie, Sandler appears as an emotional anchor. His blame humor and unexpected vulnerability attracted attention, even as “Jai Kelly” reviews, not that they are glowing.

Still, it’s not a showcase for one man. Billy Crudup provides sharply, the performance of the sneaked scenes in a short time, while Dern provides constant gravitas, because it is known, adding layers to research film, artistic research of glory, art and victims.

As a distributor, Netflix has built a reputation of peroral films with an uneven critical consensus in the main basis of award, from “Emilia Perez” (2024) to “Chicago 7” (2020) and “do not look” (2021). Sammer’s machine is crucial in ensuring that Sandler stays in the center of attention, especially how the platform balanced other awards hoping “Frankenstein” and Kathrin Bigel’s “Dynamite House”.

But let’s be real for a moment … This is a movie made for Hollywood artists.

Baumbach wrote “Jai Kelly” with Emily Mortimer, making a story that feels adapted for Hollywood Insiders. Chronacking the relationship between the film star and his manager moving fame, regret and mortality, the film offers a love letter to those who work behind a celebrity curtain. That meta-narrative could give Sangler an advantage to academic voters who see themselves in the story. And who knows? Maybe Clooney, a double Oscen winner for “Sirian” (2005) in the accompanying actor and “Argo” (2012) in the best image, can find a way to get in what will certainly be, an extremely competitive leading category of lead.

But for Sandler, who underestimated critics for decades, and adored the audience, “Jai Kelly” could finally offer a place to get to know each other and celebrate an iconic actor.
