Well, I'm happy someone did break the guidelines, as this title gives me far more information.

If the title hadn't been editorialized, I would have simply not clicked here.

If the title hadn't been editorialized, I would have probably never known.

For future readers, a backup of the HN editorialized title:

First time a Blender-made production has won the Golden Globe

Servile adherence to rules, even in cases where the rule isn't doing anybody any good, isn't a good quality to have.

I'm not sure what is a good solution here.

I think this is interesting to HN because of the blender thing, but at the same time I like that we try and keep things sober around here.

The not-breaking-guideline approach to posting this is much worse in my opinion. We often see tweets submitted that are little more than editorialized headlines and a link.

I suppose OP could have found an article that focuses more on the Blender aspect. Though, that still relies on the article to have a title relevant to HN. Personally, I am okay with what OP did.
