What would you do afterward if you won a big Hollywood award? Probably make the rounds at all the glitzy, schmoozy parties to rub shoulders with all your famous colleagues, right?
Not if you're Paul Giamatti, who's become the internet's hero for the way he celebrated his big Golden Globe win for Alexander Payne's The Holdovers on Sunday.
Rather than walk another red carpet at an after party, Giamatti was photographed taking himself and his statuette for a burger at In-N-Out, just like the rest of us probably would.
It was a fitting way to end the night for a character actor who most often plays flawed Everymen.
Just after the Golden Globes ceremony wrapped up, Giamatti was spotted at a Westwood location of the iconic western chain near the Globes' venue at the Beverly Hilton.
Still in his tuxedo and with his Globe sitting right there on the table beside him, Giamatti quietly scrolled through his phone presumably while waiting for his burger, just like the rest of us.
Sunday's win is Giamatti's third after previous statuettes for the HBO miniseries John Addams and the 2010 film Barney's Version. So when you've already been through the awards-show wringer multiple times, you might as well celebrate with a cheeseburger, right?
On social media, people loved Giamatti's relatable post-Globes In-N-Out celebration.
Going to In-N-Out Burger after the Oscars is something of a tradition—everyone from Ang Lee to Dame Hellen Mirren has been spotted scarfing burgers after Hollywood's biggest night.
With Giamatti now heavily favored to win the Best Actor Oscar following his Globe victory, the In-N-Out by the Dolby Theatre might want to roll out a red carpet of its own
