Paul Giamatti enjoyed a very casual celebration following his Golden Globes win on Sunday.
The actor, 56, skipped the glitzy afterparties and instead drove to fast-food restaurant In-N-Out in Westwood, California, for a burger and fries.
The Holdovers star, who won an award for Best Actor in a Comedy for the role, was still dressed to the nines in his black tuxedo as he enjoyed his meal.
His Golden Globe trophy was visible on the table beside him, amid an order of burger and fries.
Giamatti reportedly received applause from the other patrons upon arrival, as per Page Six.
