Adam Sandler has received more critical acclaim for his role in the new film "Uncut Gems" than for just about any other movie in his career, according to Rottentomatoes.com. Could it carry him all the way to the 2020 Oscars stage?

In the drama, the 53-year-old actor plays a jeweler in New York’s Diamond District who’s on the hunt for the deal of a lifetime. His performance was loved by critics who saw it at film festivals in Telluride, Colorado, and Toronto - huge indicators of award season success.

Although it may be hard to imagine the star of “The Waterboy” accepting an Oscar, but Sandler has certainly turned in a solid dramatic performance. For 2002’s “Punch-Drunk Love,” Sandler received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical. And that terrific, dark film also was selected for competition at the Cannes Film Festival, alongside “The Pianist” and “Bowling for Columbine.” Not too shabby!
