Actors: Adam Sandler gets Generation Award
May 28th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I always find it strange when award shows announce who they’ll give an award. Isn’t it supposed to be a surprise? Today MTV said they will give ‘man-child’ Adam Sandler a Generation Award, previously given to Jim Carrey (2006) and Mike Myers (2007). “A 30-something water boy, a brokenhearted `80s wedding singer and a rejected hockey player-turned-pro golfer … now that’s an impressive resume,” MTV president Van Toffler said, like he’s looking to hire Sandler.
He’ll get the precious MTV Movie Award for his “amazing contribution to Hollywood.” It’s probably not a bad promotion for his new $75 million ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan’ either, which will be out June 6.
The MTV Movie Awards will brighten up your TV set this Sunday.

I’m not sure if I am in the minority here but I love Adam Sandler. His movies provide the goofy humor that I love. I think he’s earned the award.
I agree, he’s cool. I think he deserves it more than last year’s Mike Myers. I can’t remember a movie with Sandler I really disliked.
