Paul Giamatti Enjoys Celebratory In-N-Out Meal After 2024 Golden Globe Win for “The Holdovers”

The actor was spotted at one of Los Angeles' most popular restaurants

Paul Giamatti’s big night seemingly brought on a big appetite.

On Sunday, the Billions alum, 56, earned a Golden Globe award for best actor in a comedy or musical for his role in The Holdovers. Following the ceremony, the actor apparently couldn’t wait to get a hold of a meal at one of Los Angeles’ most famous eateries.

“PAUL GIAMATTI keeping it real post his Golden Globes win last night , at the Westwood In-N-Out in L.A.,” actor Michael Warburton tweeted on Monday.

In the post was a photo of the Big Fat Liar star seated in the lobby of the fast food joint, still dressed in his tuxedo, with his golden hardware visible as he prepared to chow down on his meal.

Other patrons also seen in the picture all seemed preoccupied with their personal orders.

Before heading to In-N-Out Burger, Giamatti gave a heartfelt speech dedicated to teachers as he thanked his fans and his peers alike for the Golden Globe win.

"Surely this is the first time this award has been given to an actor who has played a man who smells like fish," he quipped, referring to his character, boarding school teacher Paul Hunham.

After sharing a few thank-yous, he said, "I want to give a shout-out to my son Samuel, who recently graduated from college. And it's a movie about a teacher. I play a teacher in it. My whole family, they’re teachers. All of them, going back generations."

"Teachers are good people. Gotta respect them," he continued. "They do a good thing. It’s a tough job, so this is for teachers as well. Thanks, guys. Thank you."

In The Holdovers, Giamatti portrays a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school who is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student (Dominic Sessa) who has no place to go. Da’Vine Joy Randolph also won best supporting actress in a movie for her performance.

Last month, The Illusionist alum spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about playing the role of a cross-eyed teacher.

“I'm not allowed to tell you,” he said of the movie magic. “I'm not joking. It's a state secret. I've been sworn to secrecy.”

In addition to his character’s eye issues, Giamatti told PEOPLE that Hunham’s trimethylaminuria — a rare genetic condition also called Fish Odor Syndrome because of the unpleasant smell it generates — were “important [parts] of the character.”

“It makes him more marginalized because the kids make fun of him about it,” he said of Hunham, who he described as “a strict but well-meaning guy.”
