Being an Oscar winner comes with some outstanding perks.

Alabama’s Paul Rogers probably learned that this week, after nabbing the Academy Award for best film editing for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Rogers, a Birmingham native, saw his public profile explode after the movie swept the Oscars on March 12, winning seven trophies that also included best picture, best director and best original screenplay.

Rogers, a newcomer in Hollywood, made waves for winning an Oscar alongside Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, the powerhouse director-writer-producer duo known as the Daniels. Scheinert, who’s also from Birmingham, hired Rogers for “Everything Everywhere” after working with him on “The Death of Dick Long.”

“This is my second film, y’all, this is crazy,” Rogers said during his acceptance speech at the Oscars, drawing laughs from the audience at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Along with his obvious talent as an editor, Rogers inspired substantial chatter on social media for his humble demeanor and GQ-ready looks.

Right now, the world seems ready to give Rogers whatever he wants. And that includes Milo’s, the fast-food chain based in Alabama.

Rogers, who lives in California, expressed a longing for his home state during a recent interview with CBS 42. “I miss Milo’s, I miss thunderstorms, I miss the sound of crickets at night,” Rogers said.

When Milo’s heard that, the company offered to satisfy Rogers’ cravings for sweet tea and sauce-laden burgers.

“Congrats to fellow #Birmingham native and #PaulRogers on his recent #Oscars win for Best Editing on @atallatoncemovie,” Milo’s said on Wednesday via Twitter. “Hey Paul, have your people call our people, we’d love to help you celebrate your SWEET win with a taste of home!”

Rogers, who was born in Birmingham, went to Homewood schools and is the son of Birmingham photographer Melissa Springer. He attended the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico, then worked at Alabama Public Television. He lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife and children.

“I met Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwan at the Moonlight Roller Rink in Glendale,” Rogers said in a 2022 interview with Portico magazine. “My former co-workers at APTV, Justin and Helena Gaar moved to LA about a month after I did and invited me to Scheinert’s birthday party at the roller rink. I fell in love with the group of people that I met that night. Dan and Daniel have a knack for surrounding themselves with incredibly sincere, kind, talented, wonderful people, and so after that night of roller skating and karaoke I knew I had found my people. Only afterwards did I realize that these people made really incredible work and luckily our sensibilities and working style lined up really well.”

It’s unclear if Rogers will take Milo’s up on its offer of Southern sustenance, but he’s not the only celebrity to have a hankering for the chain’s fast food after leaving home. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. is a Milo’s fan, for example, and he typically makes a stop there when visiting his mom in Birmingham.

“Of all the places in Birmingham where I like to eat, my stomach has the longest relationship with Milo’s,” Wood said in a 2017 interview with AL.com. “I had a three-hour layover in Atlanta and I was doing the math on how I could rent a car, drive to Anniston to Milo’s to get a burger, and drive back to the airport.”
