Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet are hitting the awards circuit − and the basketball court.
The actors turned out at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles on Nov. 15 for a Vanity Fair event where they chatted about their careers and shot some hoops.
The pairing comes as Sandler and Chalamet are both in the Oscar conversation this season. Sandler is earning acclaim for his role as the manager of George Clooney's title character in the Netflix drama "Jay Kelly," while Chalamet is predicted to receive an Oscar nomination for his role in the ping-pong film "Marty Supreme."
During their sit-down discussion in the high school gymnasium, Chalamet argued that Sandler should have already won an Academy Award while raving about his performances in both "Punch-Drunk Love" and "Uncut Gems." The "Happy Gilmore" star has never been nominated for an Oscar, despite appearing poised for a nod in 2019 for "Uncut Gems," the thriller co-directed by the Safdie brothers. Josh Safdie also directed Chalamet in "Marty Supreme."
