Armie Hammer attends the 90th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on March 4, 2018 in Hollywood, California.Christopher Polk—Getty Images  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 5, 2018 4:38 PM UTC [Armie Hammer](http://time.com/4981857/armie-hammer-dancing/) has been chipping away at stardom for a while, taking roles in films like [_The Man from U.N.C.L.E._](http://time.com/3992208/the-man-from-uncle-guy-ritchie/) and _The Lone Ranger_. Turns out, all the [_Call Me By Your Name_](http://time.com/5042707/call-me-by-your-name-shape-of-water-fearlessly-display-love/) actor really needed to do was find himself a hot dog cannon and start launching snacks at unsuspecting theatergoers. Who needs a leading role when food is what the people really want? During a prank orchestrated by Jimmy Kimmel [at the 90th Annual Oscars on Sunday](http://time.com/5183817/oscars-2018-best-worst-moments/) night, Kimmel convinced a group of Hollywood’s brightest stars to head across the street from the big event, instead crashing a theater of people watching _A Wrinkle in Time._ The most important part: the stars came bearing gifts of food. While [Gal Gadot](http://time.com/5100811/gal-gadot-critics-choice/) handed out Red Vines, however, it was Armie Hammer who stole the show, thanks to the giant hot dog cannon that he brought into the midst of the hungry audience. ([Ansel Elgort](http://time.com/4856232/ansel-elgort/) had a hot dog cannon too, but it was Hammer who got all the attention.) Bedlam reigned as food went flying everywhere — and the non-celebrities expressed their shock at the icons in their midst. And it wasn’t just the people in the theater who couldn’t get over the surprise twist of events. Looks like Hammer will be remembered for this stunt for quite a while. > [](https://twitter.com/robbie%5Fcouch/status/970496451620036608) > [](https://twitter.com/accessonline/status/970497344792797185) > [](https://twitter.com/AshleyFetters/status/970496473635975169) > [](https://twitter.com/meakoopa/status/970496448209956864) > [](https://twitter.com/ChaseMit/status/970496298263576576) > [](https://twitter.com/chillhartman/status/970496570373365761) > [](https://twitter.com/oureric/status/970495715351908354) > [](https://twitter.com/amandalitman/status/970496520628985856) Armie Hammer and His Hot Dog Cannon Were Oscars Favorites ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/"},"headline":"Armie Hammer Armed With a Hot Dog Cannon Was the Surprise Hit of the Oscars","datePublished":"2018-03-05T16:38:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:19.073Z","description":"'Call Me By Your Name' actor Armie Hammer shocked moviegoers by firing out hot dogs during an Oscars night prank with Jimmy Kimmel.","url":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2305d7a5cca7cf88/6989299e8fd2eee36e35ae6f/armie-hammer-oscars-2018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2305d7a5cca7cf88/6989299e8fd2eee36e35ae6f/armie-hammer-oscars-2018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"90th Annual Academy Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"90th Annual Academy Awards - Red Carpet","creditText":"Christopher Polk—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/","name":"Armie Hammer Armed With a Hot Dog Cannon Was the Surprise Hit of the Oscars"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Was The Best Fashion On The Oscars Red Carpet","description":"Awards season has been in full swing for nearly two months, all leading up to Sunday's 90th Academy Awards","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/O6mEsUdn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-03-05T01:43:39.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/O6mEsUdn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/","duration":"PT2M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5185829/armie-hammer-hot-dog-cannon/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
