Simu Liu reveals the food the A-list are served at the Oscars - and it's not as glamorous as you might think

When award season hits, the question on everyone's lips is who the big winners will be. 

But in a world full of glamour and glitz, a not so common question is what those who receive the award show golden ticket are offered to eat.

Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu, 34, has now lifted the lid on how the stars are kept fuelled throughout the film industry's biggest night of the year - and it is not as glamorous as you might expect. 

Taking to Threads on Tuesday, Simu gave his official ratings for the snacks on offer at the Oscars ceremony and its after parties.

From sweets to Wagyu beef, here is all the food the award season A-listers can sink their teeth into.

OSCARS CEREMONY

Host Jimmy Kimmel was responsible for the array of ceremony snacks at the ceremony, claiming he wanted to make sure no one went hungry

Simu took to the stage at the 96th Oscars - so keeping fuelled would have been essential. 

But the actor scored the pretzels and sweets stashed under the audience members' seat just three out of 10.

Host Jimmy Kimmel was responsible for the array of ceremony snacks,claiming he wanted to make sure no one went hungry.

Sharing a snap of the snack box on Instagram, Jimmy said: 'We don’t like it when people are hungry, so Jimmy provided snacks for everyone at the #Oscars and included a donation to the @LAfoodbank for each one!'

However, the box was Simu's worst rated food of the night.

He wrote: 'Oscars (3/10): Jimmy stashed some soft pretzel and sour patch kids under our seats. 

'It wasn’t glamorous but did its job.'

GOVERNORS BALL PARTY

Of the Governors Ball party's food display, Simu rated it 11/10, saying that it had Wagyu beef and Peking duck 

The gold standard of award ceremony food, the Governors Ball party's offering for 2024 was absolutely no exception. 

Countless chocolate desserts moulded into the shape of Oscar statues accompanied an array of extravagant food. 

Simu raved: 'Gov ball (11/10): This was insane. wood-fired pizzas, paella, Wagyu, sliders, PEKING DUCK?!?'

'I did nothing but inhale food the whole time.'

Iberico ham, pot pies, tacos, fresh pasta and burger sliders were just some of the elevated comfort delicacies on offer at the party. 

The food was provided for the ball by Wolfgang Puck Catering - who were also in charge of last year's delicacies. 

Some of the favourite dishes on offer were 

Chocolate Oscars sprayed with edible gold Piña Colada rum babas, Grand Marnier chocolate cigars with smoking ashes, black truffle chicken pot pies, and smoked salmon Oscars.

The food on offer at the Vanity Fair Oscar party is one of its most iconic features, with In-n-Out burgers on tap.

And while it wasn't quite on par with the Governors Ball's food selection, Simu applauded it for its satisfaction.

'Vanity fair (7/10): ah the infamous party with in-n-out burgers on tap,' Simu wrote. 'Can't go wrong.' 

Several stars were snapped on Sunday night tucking into the famous burgers after the ceremony.

MADONNA AND GUCCI 'THE PARTY' 

Simu revealed that a full spread of curry, naan, samosas and rice was on offer at 'The Party' - which is a strictly no cameras affair (stock photo) 

Strictly a no camera affair, the goings on at what has simply become 'The Party' are often kept under wraps. 

But with Simu's food reviews come some insight as to what coveted guests can find inside the party - which was this year co-hosted by Madonna.

Simu revealed: 'Madonna (9/10): Full spread of curry, rice, naan and samosas. I was simply too full lol.' 

The Queen of Pop herself also shared a behind-the-scenes look at her annual Oscars party, following the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday evening.

In images taken from the notoriously exclusive after-party, attended by Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and Salma Hayek this year, the superstar, 65, rocked a stunning corset, designed by Christian Lacroix for her Re-Invention World Tour in 2004, and wig.

While posing for a picture with Cillian Murphy, who won his first Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer just hours earlier, the Queen of Pop held onto a sign which read: 'Leave me alone. I'm tired!!'

'Oscar Party was FUN!' she captioned her slideshow. 'Not exactly a night off for a girl that needs a night off, but I'm so happy I got to meet my favorite A.C.T.O.R! #cillianmurphy - Congratulations!'
