IDK about you, but I love the inside scoop at awards shows. Behind all the glitz and glam, some surprising stuff always goes down. I'll never forget that they served PIZZA IN A BAG at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this year, LOL.

Madonna's afterparty rating: 9/10. "Full spread of curry, rice, naan and samosas. I was simply too full lol."

I wasn't the only one who appreciated Simu's insight. Many people in the comments loved the food reviews:

But Simu wasn't the only one stoked about In-N-Out that night. I am absolutely obsessed with this image of Steven Spielberg taking a pic of his cheeseburger, LOL.
