Emma Stone
Stone has got her little man covered thanks to an assist from pal Jimmy Kimmel. After hosting the ceremony 2017 when the actress won for La La Land, Kimmel "sent underwear for [my Oscar], like rubber underwear, so he's wearing tighty-whities," she revealed to People. "Jimmy said, 'I'd like to bring some decency into your home.'" Well, her mother's home, really, Stone sharing that mom Krista "holds on to it."
Lupita Nyong'o
Ridin' solo: "It's just on a shelf on its own," the 12 Years a Slave star told Variety of her 2014 Best Supporting Actress Oscar. But she doesn't mind sharing the wealth. Asked if friends try to hold the hardware, she replied, "Yeah, and they're allowed to."
Anna Paquin
As a teen, The Piano actress didn't want to make a whole song and dance about the Academy Award she won at age 11. "I keep it next to my boots at the back of my closet," she told InStyle five years after her 1994 victory. "I don't display it because friends would think they had to comment and I don't want that kind of attention."
Cuba Gooding Jr.
In the two-plus decades since his 1997 win, the Jerry Maguire actor's Oscar has aged like a fine wine. For the first six years, the statue sat on a shelf in his temperature-controlled wine cabinet, remaining like new. "Now that I keep it out in the open in my screening room," he told InStyle, "it has become tarnished—which is kind of cool. It's starting to age and get character. Like me."
Viola Davis
The Oscar winner has her a man who doesn't miss an opportunity to pump her up. The Fences lead says husband and producing partner Julius Tennon urged her to keep her 2017 trophy in their office, next to the Emmy she won for How to Get Away With Murder and her two Tonys. "If it were up to me," she admitted, "I'd keep it in my garage to keep me humble."
Rachel Brosnahan
With a small space, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress struggled to find a spot for her best actress trophy to take a seat. Hence why, "My Golden Globe from last year is on my toilet," she confessed to reporters at the 2019 show after notching her second win in a row. "I live in New York. Truly, it was the only available shelf and it's cute in there." Besides, she continued, "It livens up the place. I'll probably put this one next to it."
Julia Roberts
Cross-examined by Ellen DeGeneres about the "parlor" where she houses her 2009 Oscar, the Erin Brockovich actress testified, "It's in a room that has a piano in it, that my daughter plays, that we call the piano room. I thought it might sound pretentious, so I said 'parlor." Responded the talk show host, "So you thought 'parlor' sounded less pretentious?"
Emma Thompson
As Henry Golding discovered, there's a perk to answering nature's call while at Thompson's pad. With his Last Christmas costar keeping her two Oscars in the bathroom ("They look far too outré anywhere else. They're great big, gold, shiny things," she explained), he happened upon them during a Sunday get-together with the cast. "I'm conducting business," he shared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "and then suddenly my eyes just reach these two golden statues in the toilets, and they are the Oscars." So naturally he took a pic to prove it happened. "I had to," he exclaimed. "Look how amazing that is!" Even better: She's placed a mirror just to the side so guests can snap selfies.
