A Uniquely Hollywood Celebration
The actor’s choice to celebrate at a popular fast-food chain has been widely seen as a relatable and authentic move, with many fans and media outlets highlighting it as a “real moment” and a departure from typical Hollywood fanfare. This tradition of award winners making a stop at In-N-Out after the Oscars has become a notable, albeit unofficial, part of the awards season, with several celebrities like Paul Giamatti having previously gone viral for similar post-win burger runs. The convenient location of an In-N-Out near the Dolby Theatre further cements its status as a post-Oscars pilgrimage for those seeking a taste of California’s quintessential fast food after the glitz and glamour of the awards ceremony.
“Sinners” Dominates at the Oscars
The film “Sinners,” which secured Michael B. Jordan his Best Actor award, was a significant presence at the 98th Academy Awards. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the movie garnered a remarkable 16 nominations, ultimately taking home four awards. Beyond Jordan’s lead actor win, “Sinners” was recognized for its Best Original Screenplay, also penned by Coogler, and its Best Original Score. The film also made history with Autumn Durald Arkapaw’s win for Best Cinematography, making her the first woman to achieve this honor. Jordan’s acceptance speech notably honored past Black actors and actresses who have won leading Oscars, including Sidney Poitier and Denzel Washington, emphasizing his gratitude for the shoulders he stands upon.
