After the glitz and glam of the Oscars is over, the night’s winners retreat to their houses – albeit with a shiny new accessory. Of course it deserves a spot front-and-center, but you’d be surprised to find out where celebrities decide to place them. In honor of the 88th Academy awards coming up this weekend, here’s a look at where previous Oscar winners stash their statues, including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, Ben Affleck and more!

“I enabled her to hold it hostage in Boston in lieu of a grandson,” he said. “I stole it back and it kicked around from office to office. I’ve kept it in pretty mundane locations, on desks or bookshelves, in my office next to my signed Celtics basketball, a Red Sox hat, and photos of me and Matt clowning around right after we won. It would be nice to win for acting; I’m sure my work in Gigli has a shot!”
