There are always unexpected moments at the Academy Awards. That is part of what makes the night special. And fun. No matter how carefully everything is choreographed, something inevitably pops up that no one anticipated. Tonight, nominee Timothee Chalamet got the shock of his life when Adam Sandler, dressed casually in shorts and a blue sweatshirt, ran up to an unsuspecting Chalamet in the audience and gave him a great big hug. Even if he does not take home an Oscar for A Complete Unknown, he will never forget this evening!

Sandler Took Some Ribbing For His Attire From Host Conan O'Brien
Adam Sandler took some good-natured heat for his ensemble from host Conan O'Brien. Per Deadline, he retorted, "Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up. 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 [and that] my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front my peers!"
Whatever he wears, Adam Sandler is a real hoot. Tonight, he injected some hilarity into the event, and it was marvelous to watch.
