In the midst of a strange awards season, one thing has remained the same: a few deserving celebs have capped off their glamorous evenings with a shiny new talking piece to display on their mantles. Or somewhere else! When it comes to keeping their awards, celebrities are known to choose some interesting places to deposit them. While many stars like Julia Roberts and Sean “Diddy” Combs like to keep their images in rooms where they can show them off, others like Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow opt for a less traditional (or “over the fireplace”)” ) procedure. However, one star can beat all of them when it comes to odd storage options. During a March 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rosamund Pike shared that she doesn’t feel comfortable displaying her awards in her home. How does she cure this discomfort? By burying them in her garden, of course! “I find it uncomfortable so I bury it in the yard with a little bit exposed so you can get a tantalizing glimpse of a hand or the globe,” the Gone Girl actress said at the time. “I think it’s funny because in the future, when I’m dead and gone or someone else buys the house, they’ll be gardening and they’ll hit metal and they’ll think they’ve found buried treasure and they’ll actually have a big number of awards.” While Pike predicts that award ceremonies will be a thing of the past by the time someone digs up her trophies, other stars are more interested in their statues — Tom Hanks, for example, keeps his many awards in their proper place: on a shelf next to all the other awards from his family.”Where are they now? They’re on the family trophy shelf, next to the football trophies,” the actor reportedly once said of his two Oscars. was nicknamed by former Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences librarian Margaret Herrick, who thought the figure resembled her uncle Oscar. In 1939, the Academy officially adopted the name. As it goes, every award season trophy has some great story. The design of the Emmy’s trophy was selected in 1948 after 47 proposals failed. Each year, the Grammy’s gold-plated gramophone statues are hand-plated with 24- karat gold.
