"Vice" Oscar nominee (5)

I believe the answer is:

adams

(Other definitions for adams that I've seen before include "Richard --, Watership Down author" , "Douglas - (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)" , "Of untidy appearance" , "American composer" , "Father and son were American presidents" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
