At one point a man came up from the audience and tried to pull Blum off the stage.
On Tuesday night, as midterm election results were still coming in, he received another honour for his trophy cabinet, this time from the Israeli film festival in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Blum, who is of Jewish heritage, was given the festival’s achievement in film and television award.
He added it was the first time the festival had experienced “anything like this” and he was “in total shock”.
