Adam Sandler was at his hilarious best with his trademark casual look at the Oscars. His outfit featured basketball shorts, a sweatshirt and Steph Curry’s signature sneakers. Conan O'Brien, the host of the 97th Academy Awards, jokingly said he didn't exactly appreciate the laid-back attire. However, fans on social media lauded the actor-comedian for donning the Golden State Warriors superstar’s Curry 11s.
