In-N-Out is an award show staple. Oscars hostJimmy Kimmeltold PEOPLE it’s “tradition”to head there after the show.
“I think part of why is because when people are in L.A., one of the things on their list is to go to In-N-Out — and there are a lot of people that are in L.A. just for the Oscars — so they wind up going like, ‘Okay.’” said Kimmel, who hosted the Oscars for the fourth time. “Also, you get very hungry, so In-N-Out is definitely the award show tradition. Nothing against McDonald’s, but on award show night, it’s In-N-Out.”
Giamatti paired his fun accessory with a classic black tux andwalked the red carpet with his girlfriend,Clara Wong. Although the Best Actor award ended up going toOppenheimerstarCillian Murphy, In-N-Out has boughtThe Holdoversstar a fair amount of good fortune.
After winning best actor in a comedy or musical movie at the2024 Golden Globes, Giamatti was named the best movie actor at the2024 Critics Choice Awards.
