From Rosamund Pike’s Garden to Goldie Hawn’s Meditation Room: Where Celebs Store Their Awards

Amid a strange awards season, one thing has remained the same: a few deserving celebrities have ended their glammed-up evenings with a shiny new talking piece to display on their mantle.

Or … somewhere else! When it comes to storing their awards, celebrities have been known to choose some interesting spots for safekeeping.

While many stars, such as Julia Roberts and Sean “Diddy” Combs, like to keep their statues in rooms where they can show them off, others, like Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow, choose to go a less traditional (or “above the fireplace”) route.

One star, however, may have everyone beat when it comes to strange storage options. During a March 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rosamund Pike shared that she doesn’t feel comfortable showcasing her awards in her house. How does she cure this discomfort? By burying them in her garden, of course!

“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,” the Gone Girl actress said at the time. “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.”
