Awards season has been in full swing for nearly two months, all leading up to Sunday's 90th Academy Awards_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 5, 2018 4:38 PM UTC Comedian turned writer-director Jordan Peele made history Sunday at the 90th annual Academy Awards for his work on Best Picture nominee Get Out  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) ## Transcript [00:00] For me.
