From above link--------- Controversies Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe in 1981 in the category "Newcomer-of-the-Year" for her performance in Butterfly.[8] There were accusations that the Foreign Press Association members had been bought off.[9] Pia's husband, multimillionaire Meshulam Riklis, flew voting members to his casino, the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, which gave the appearance that they voted for Zadora to repay this. Riklis also invited voting members to his house for a lavish lunch and a showing of the film. He also spent a great deal on advertising.[10] The film had not been released at the time of the awards,[11] which should have made her ineligible for one.[12] Jan 18 11, 8:37 PM
