Rosamund Pike buries her awards in her backyard because she feels 'awkward' displaying them
- Rosamund Pike revealed in a new interview that she buries her awards in her backyard.
- "I just find it an uneasy thing to display any award in your home," the actress said.
- "So I bury them in the garden with a little bit showing up," Pike added.
Rosamund Pike revealed in a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres that she buries her awards in the backyard, instead of displaying them in her home.
The actress, who stars in the film "I Care a Lot," said she feels "awkward" keeping her awards inside.
"I just find it an uneasy thing to display any award in your home because how do people interact with them when they come home?" Pike told DeGeneres. "Do they say, 'Oh, wow, look those are your awards?'"
"I think it's awkward, so I bury it in the garden with a little bit showing up so you can have an enticing glimpse of a hand or the globe maybe," she continued.
Pike joked that her decision to bury her awards was likely "deeply psychological," but told DeGeneres she enjoys thinking about people in the future unearthing them.
"I think it's amusing because in the future, when I'm dead and gone or when somebody else buys the house, they'll be landscaping and they'll hit metal and they'll think they found buried treasure and they'll have in fact found a host of awards," the actress said.
But according to Pike, future societies will likely have progressed past the need for awards shows, so her trophies will be "relics."
During the 78th annual Golden Globes on February 28, Pike won the award for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role in "I Care a Lot," beating out Maria Baklova for "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," Kate Hudson for "Music," Michelle Pfeiffer for "French Exit," and Anya Taylor-Joy for "Emma."
Pike thanked her fellow nominees in her acceptance speech.
"Ladies, I salute you. Wow, I bet it looks like I care a lot. I do," she said. "I do. I care a lot."
The actress referenced her crime thriller in the conclusion of her speech, jokingly thanking "America's broken legal system for making it possible to make stories like this."
Aside from her Golden Globe, Pike also received a Primetime Emmy Award for her work on the show "State of the Union" in 2019.
