Matt Smith may be a well-known actor on both sides of the Atlantic but he proved he is down to Earth when it comes to celebrating awards.

The Critics Choice Awards is taking place at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday evening and the Brit is up for Best Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role as Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon.

The 40-year-old, who is best known for his roles as Doctor Who and Prince Philip in Netflix's The Crown, was among the many famous faces on the red carpet for the event with 42 different categories set to be awarded.

Some have already been given on the red carpet with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery claiming the Best Cast Ensemble and Best Comedy.

Alongside Matt's nominations at the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards, popular HBO series House of Dragon is also up for several awards, including best drama series.

The actor said it was “lovely” to have been invited to the event in Los Angeles before delving into his celebrations if he lifted the gong.

“It’s really lovely to be invited to the party…it’s lovely to be part of it and be invited – let’s see if we win,” he told the CCA, speaking on the red carpet.

Asked what he would do to celebrate a win, he said: “Probably go and have a few lagers with my mates, a few lagers and a steak dinner

Matt was then asked how he would celebrate if House of Dragons won, he said: "I'll probably have a few lagers. I'll have a few lagers with my mates. A few lagers and a steak dinner."

The Daemon Targaryen actor in the Game of Thrones spin-off, admitted he thinks there's "too much" in the programme.

Speaking in an interview with Rolling Stone UK earlier this month, Matt opened up about his character and the raunchy acting required of him.

Matt said: "You do find yourself asking, 'Do we need another sex scene?’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, we do'.

"I guess you have to ask yourself: ‘What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we’re living in]?'"
