Handing out the burgers was an immediate hit, and now, 31 years later, it’s an awards season staple. Precisely 1,707 burgers were served to the starry guests at last night’s party, including hamburgers, cheeseburgers, Double-Doubles, Double-Meats, and grilled cheese. (The cheeseburgers are always the most popular on the menu, and are prepared fresh onsite at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.) Indeed, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party has become so closely associated with In-N-Out that two PETA protesters showed up at Sunday evening’s party, although the disturbance was quickly contained.
Kaitlyn Dever, the actor set to star in season two of HBO’s The Last of Us, has been invited to the party a few times before, and always makes sure to grab a burger first. “When you go to the Vanity Fair party, you kind of fast for the day because of the In-N-Out burger—it’s the best,” she joked. “Even though In-N-Out has branched out to other states now, it really feels like and represents L.A. Since we’re celebrating Hollywood and movie making on Oscar night, having a classic In-N-Out burger feels right.”
Olivia Munn is also known to actively seek out an In-N-Out every time she attends the party. “We all wait for that certain point in the night when you see someone walk around with the burger, and then everyone starts saying, ‘Who has the burgers? Where are the burgers?’ That’s a very exciting moment,” she said, laughing. Munn’s only request for next year? “There need to be milkshakes! We all want the milkshake—that’s my special request in. That’s the only way the party could get even better.”
