Natalie Portman won an Oscar back in 2010 for her creepy yet I-want-to-watch-it-again film Black Swan. Instead of proudly displaying her statue like a normal person, she doesn’t even know where it is. And she doesn’t care. Somewhere, Leonardo DiCaprio is having a mental breakdown. Someone please hand him a tissue?
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Natalie said, “I don’t know where it is. I think it’s in the safe or something. I don’t know. I haven’t seen it in a while. I mean, Darren [Aronovsky] actually said to me something when we were in that whole thing that resonated so deeply. I was reading the story of Abraham to my child and talking about, like, not worshipping false idols. And this is literally like gold men. This is literally worshipping gold idols — if you worship it. That’s why it’s not displayed on the wall. It’s a false idol.”
You don’t have to worship Mr. Academy Award, Nat, but you earned it. If I won an Oscar, I’d probably bring it to dinner parties and let people take pictures with it, then come home and tuck it into its personal Oscar-sized bed. I’d probably refer to it as Osc. But you do you, girl. Even if you is weird.
