And the burger goes to... Michael B Jordan marks Oscars win at In-N-Out
What happened
Michael B Jordan won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film Sinners at the Academy Awards ceremony. After the ceremony, he visited In-N-Out Burger while still wearing his black suit from the red carpet, with his Oscar statuette present at the table. He signed paper hats for staff and ordered a 3x3 burger (three beef patties and three slices of cheese), surrounded by photographers and fans.
Other celebrities have similarly visited fast food restaurants after Oscars-related events: Hilary Swank visited Astro Burger in West Hollywood in 2005 after winning Best Actress for Million Dollar Baby; Julia Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis ate at In-N-Out Burger after presenting awards in 2019 and 2024 respectively. In-N-Out Burger has been served at Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty since 1994. In 2024, Steven Spielberg, Emily Ratajkowski, and Adwoa Aboah were photographed with burgers at the event.
Who's perspective
This appears to be written by a celebrity and entertainment reporter, framing the story as a lighthearted human-interest piece. That choice means the article treats a celebrity's post-awards fast food stop as a charming tradition worth documenting, rather than as a publicity moment or a manufactured media event.
Taken for granted
The article takes for granted that Jordan's In-N-Out visit was a spontaneous, celebratory act — the framing of 'wrapping up Oscars night' implies personal choice and informality. It does not address whether such visits are coordinated with publicists or photographers, which would change how the reader understands the 'authenticity' of the moment.
