Adam Sandler says he didn't get into acting for Oscars
CBSN
Adam Sandler rose to fame on "Saturday Night Live" and in films such as "Billy Madison," "Big Daddy" and "Grown Ups." Now he's generating awards buzz for his serious portrayal of a basketball scout in his new film "Hustle." But awards weren't the goal when he moved to Los Angeles to work in entertainment, he tells correspondent Tracy Smith in an interview for "CBS Sunday Morning," to be broadcast November 13 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
"I didn't come out to California when I was young to get Oscars," Sandler said. "I'm not expecting it. I don't sit and watch my performance and go, 'I'm riveting, man. How the hell did I do that?' I'm just proud of it. And if, if any of that stuff happens, that would be great. If it doesn't happen, still, everything's been pretty damn good."
In the Netflix film "Hustle," Sandler's character roams the Earth looking for the next great professional basketball player. He finds one, in Spain, though getting him to the NBA turns into a brutal uphill climb.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
