Where do Hollywood’s biggest stars keep their Oscars? From Kate Winslet’s in a bathroom to Goldie Hawn’s meditation room

Kate Winslet won Best Actress in 2009 for The Reader, and now keeps her statue in her bathroom. “The whole point is for everybody to pick it up and go, ‘I’d like to thank my son and my dad’—and you can always tell when someone has, because they’re in there a little bit longer after they flushed,” she told WSJ. Magazine. “They’ll come out looking slightly pink-cheeked. It’s hysterical.”

Apparently it’s a running theme, two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster (winning in 1989 for The Accused and 1992 for Silence of the Lambs) also keeps her Oscars in her bathroom. “Because they looked good with the faucets,” she once said per ABC News. “But when they started getting corroded on the bottom, I had to move them to a trophy case in my den.”

While Goldie Hawn may not have been in attendance in 1970 to accept her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Cactus Flower, now she can reflect on it as much as she wants. “My award is in the room where I study and practice meditation,” she told InStyle (per E! News). “Sometimes it’s on the mantel; sometimes I put it away.”

Javier Bardem won his Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2008 for No Country for Old Men, while Penélope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress the year after for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. In 2019, Javier told People they keep their trophies “in a place that’s not so obvious,” adding: “That we can see in the corner of our eye, so it’s not like, they are there. And if you miss them, you go there in secret and you hold it, then you go back to the living room.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, who won Best Actress in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love, prefers to keep her Oscar hidden away. “I keep it tucked away at the back of the bookshelf in my bedroom because it weirds me out,” she confessed to the Sydney Morning Herald. “For weeks after I won I kept it in storage… I won’t even put it on the mantelpiece, the thing freaks me out.”

In 2015, Black Swan’s Best Actress Oscar winner Natalie Portman confessed to The Hollywood Reporter that she wasn’t actually sure where her trophy is now. “I don’t know where it is,” she admitted. “I think it’s in the safe or something. I don’t know. I haven’t seen it in a while.”

After winning Best Supporting Actor in 2014 for Dallas Buyers Club, Jared Leto put his statuette in the most obvious yet inconspicuous location. “The Oscar is sitting in my kitchen guarded by some vegan butter and a bag of popcorn,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

After winning Best Actress in 1996 for Dead Man Walking, Susan Sarandon also kept her trophy in the bathroom. But then, as she revealed on Oprah: “But right now my Oscar got bored of being in the bathroom, and now it’s on tour. The Museum of Natural History [in Chicago] took it. I lent it to them for their gold exhibition.”

Per The Guardian, The Hours star and 2003’s Best Actress winner Nicole Kidman keeps her statue on her parents’ mantelpiece in Sydney, where apparently even neighbors pass by to give it a look-see.
