Critics’ Choice Audience was A-list, but the list was not
What do A-list celebrities bring to dinner at the Critics’ Choice Awards? Certainly not a five course meal.
Each table was stocked with plenty of Fiji water, two bottles of wine and a large bottle of champagne. The food options weren’t as plentiful as the beverage selection, though: In addition to a basket of biscuits on each table, the celebrities munched on an array of sauces including hummus and baba ghanoush.
In case the hummus wasn’t filling enough, there was plenty of Cold Stone ice cream. Apart from a small ice cream stand outside the ballroom, cold stone cups were also passed inside during commercial breaks.
It wasn’t until after the show when the stars finally got to indulge in a little sustenance. Once the telecast ended, the stars exited the ballroom to find flatbreads, sushi rolls, and dessert tables dotting the reception area.
