Helping to soothe the sting of Josh and Benny Safdie’s incredible Uncut Gems being shut out of the Oscars comes a new short from the creative team. The Safdies dropped the six-minute flick, “Goldman v Silverman,” on Vimeo on Thursday, treating us to a war between two painted street performers (played by Adam Sandler and Benny Safdie) that, in the end, has no winner.

One can still consider it a victory lap for the film, which, as it nears $45 million in U.S. box office receipts, is well on the way to being the biggest grosser in the history of its acclaimed producer, A24.
