Susanne Bier, who took the award for foreign-language film for “In a Better World,” held up her Oscar backstage and exclaimed, “I didn’t know it would be this huge!”
Thanks to Bier, a female director scored a trophy this year, as well as a Golden Globe last month. The whole experience has been astounding, she said.
So what does she plan to do with her awards?
“I don’t know what I’ll do when I get back to my homeland, but tonight I’ll probably put them next to my cushion in my bed,’ she said, blushing. “And then when I get home, I’ll probably put them somewhere where I can watch them all the time. This is amazing! I’m very proud.”
Bier concluded by saying that she was so surprised by her win that she didn’t have time to look at her prepared remarks. “I had my speech ready and I did not say one sentence from it!”
