I have code written both ways and I see flaws in both of them. Is there another way to write this or is one approach more "correct" than the other?

def functionOne(subscriber):
    try:
        results = MyModelObject.objects.filter(
            project__id=1,
            status=MyModelObject.STATUS.accepted,
            subscriber=subscriber).values_list(
                'project_id',
                flat=True).order_by('-created_on')
    except:
        pass

def functionOne(subscriber):
    try:
        results = MyModelObject.objects.filter(
            project__id=1,
            status=MyModelObject.STATUS.accepted,
            subscriber=subscriber)
        results = results.values_list('project_id', flat=True)
        results = results.order_by('-created_on')
    except:
        pass
