Adam Sandler, in homage to 'Waterboy,' used the final moments of his best actor speech at the National Board of Review's 2020 awards to shout out to Kathy Bates, 'I love momma!'
These next couple of weeks mark the final leg of a coast-to-coast, months-long awards campaign season. For some, the endeavor is an exhausting one involving countless appearances and constant, coast-to-coast travel. But at the National Board of Review's 2020 awards ceremony on Wednesday night in New York, winners, presenters and attendees illustrated what an emotionally humbling and creatively invigorating time the season could also be.
The room erupted into loud cheers for Bates and did so again after Sandler accepted his honor. Embodying his famous comedic character of Bobby Bushay, the comedian-actor used the final moments of his speech to shout out to Bates, "I love momma!" While his acceptance ended on a comedic note, Sandler started it choked up after hearing long-time friend and collaborator Drew Barrymore sing his praises, not just as an artist but as a father and man.
"Thank you, Bradley. Bradley just put his daughter to bed and rushed over here to do this," Pitt told the NBR audience. "He's a sweetheart. I got sober because of this guy, and every day has been happier ever since." "The relevance of what she was saying didn't hit me at that time, but it planted the seed, and I am so grateful for that fateful run-in with my friend," Zellweger continued. "Because she reminded me to be an artist, and I know that you cannot be an artist if you do not live an authentic life."
