Move over Oscar statues – there’s a new must-have trophy in town, and it’s adorably fuzzy! 🧸 The Shanghai International Film Festival is letting film buffs take home a piece of cinematic glory with limited-edition Golden Goblet plushies, modeled after its prestigious award.
Lights, Camera, Cuddles! 🎥
While A-list directors battle for the actual Golden Goblet prize, fans can score these huggable replicas through social media contests, festival events, and pop-up stalls. The plushies have already gone viral on Weibo, with one user joking: "Finally, an award I can win by just being extra!" 😂
Why It’s a Blockbuster Move
SIFF organizers say the merch bridges film culture and fan engagement: "We wanted something that says ‘prestige’ but also ‘playfulness’ – perfect for Gen Z’s vibe." The festival runs until June 23, giving movie lovers two weeks to plot their plushie heist. 🕶️
