Michael B. Jordan pops in and then out of an In-N-Out after lead actor Oscars win

by

Michael B. Jordan surprised fans on Sunday night after the Academy Awards by stopping at an In-N-Out Burger with his co-star, Oscar.

This wasn’t the fancy In-N-Out catered to celebrities at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Michael Jordan actually went to a regular In-N-Out Burger restaurant, which thrilled both fans and the paparazzi who quickly gathered there with him.

Awards

Here’s a look at the most stunning fashion moments from the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, featuring looks from stars like Jessica Alba, Alessandra Ambrosio, Olivia Rodrigo, Sarah Paulson, and Colman Domingo.

Jordan won the award on his first nomination, a remarkable start to a career that began around the year 2000. He earned the trophy for his performance as twins Smoke and Stack in Ryan Coogler’s unique film, “Sinners,” which blends the worlds of dive bars and vampires.

Videos quickly spread online showing Michael Jordan greeting fans, signing an In-N-Out hat for a staff member, and enjoying a double-double with fries. According to TMZ, fans climbed onto tables and booths to catch a view of the basketball legend. After just a few bites, Jordan reportedly left the restaurant, but not before a loud and enthusiastic crowd cheered for him.

After Jordan received his Oscar and had it engraved at the Governors Ball, he stopped for a burger. While at the ball, he seemed to skip the fancier snacks like chicken nuggets and salmon topped with caviar, which were served on crackers shaped like Oscars. His burger, a simple double-double, didn’t have any caviar – and that was likely a welcome change.

Okay, so the actor definitely swapped out his earlier look. He ditched the formal black outfit he’d worn to the show and dinner, and arrived at the Vanity Fair party looking sharp in a brown double-breasted suit. He paired it with a classic white shirt and black tie – a really solid choice, in my opinion.

Awards

The actor explains he completely immersed himself in preparation for Ryan Coogler’s horror film. This intense process resulted in a remarkable performance as twins, each with a unique and compelling personality – a performance many believe deserves an award.

After the ceremony, people were probably hungry. During the show, attendees received a small snack pack from host Conan O’Brien, jokingly called a “Moderately Happy Meal™.” These packs, a yearly tradition left under the seats, contained a box of candy – reportedly Junior Mints and Raisinets – a small bag of Skinny Pop popcorn, and a bottle of water.

Jordan was in excellent company among the nominees for the Best Actor Oscar, including Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura. His victory followed a surprising win at the recent Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards).

Ryan Coogler’s win for original screenplay was a historic first for him. This achievement follows his previous Oscar nominations: best picture in 2021 for “Judas and the Black Messiah,” and original song in 2023 for co-writing “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

“Sinners,” the film with the most Oscar nominations in history, won four awards despite being nominated for sixteen. Michael Coogler and Michael Jordan were among the winners, and the film also earned wins for Autumn Durald Arkapaw (cinematography – she was the first woman to win this award) and Ludwig Göransson (original score).
