There are some actors you have to admire more than others, like Rosamund Pike. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres this week the actress said she buriers her acting trophies in her home garden. Many actors keep their awards on display in their homes or offices. For Pike, the thought of displaying hers inside her home is awkward. Pike just won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for her performance in “I Care A Lot” (now streaming on Netflix). The actress’s other awards include a British Independent Film Award for “The Libertine,” and a Primetime Emmy for “State of the Union”. That’s just to name a few.
“It’s probably [something] deeply psychological…if you’ve got any psychiatrists or therapists in your audience, maybe they’ll say it’s probably some deep-lying imposter syndrome,” Pike said about burying her awards. “I find it an uneasy thing to display any award in your home. How do people interact with them when they come home? Do they say, ‘Oh wow, look, those are your awards!’ I think it’s awkward, so I bury them in the garden with a little bit showing up, so you can have an enticing glimpse of a hand or a globe.
Pike continued:
“I think it’s amusing, because in the future when I’m dead and gone, or when someone else buys the house, there will be landscaping and they’ll hit metal and they’ll think they’ve found buried treasure, and in fact, they’ve found a host of awards, and they’ll think, ‘What’s this about?’”
Pike has won one Oscar nomination already for David Fincher’s “Gone Girl.” Her Golden Globe win for “I Care A Lot” was her first Globe of her career after two nominations in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama category, one for “Gone Girl” and another for playing war correspondent Marie Colvin in Matthew Heineman’s 2018 drama “A Private War.” Pike’s Globe win for “I Care A Lot” came as a shock since “Borat 2” breakout Maria Bakalova was thought to be the frontrunner for the award.
What’s next for Pike? A role on the television series “The Wheel of Time.” In addition to that, the award winner is also lending her voice to a sarcastic podcast about former first lady Edith Wilson for QCODE and Crooked Media.

Mamma, Mimi, Michele, call out any one of those names and I will answer. There are several hats on my shelf. My passions are photography, being outside, movies, tv, pop culture and anything haunted or spooky. People are my other interest, I love meeting new people and socializing. When I lived in Savannah GA I worked as a tour guide both haunted and historical tours. I met people from all over the world, that was the best part of the job. All of this I can write about too, that’s the beauty of being a writer.
