WHERE OSCAR LIVES NOW
(1)
Nicole Kidman
BEST ACTRESS -The Hours(2003)
“I gave it to my mother. I wanted her to have it on her mantel. And then she subsequently said, “I’m clearing everything out of my house; I want you to have it back.” So it’s now with my husband’s Grammys. It sits surrounded by a lot of Grammys. But it’s the princess in the middle of it.”
Elton John
BEST ORIGINAL SONG-The Lion King (1995)
“They’re on the first floor of my house in Windsor. There are two shelves with all my Ivor Novello songwriting awards, Golden Globes, Tony, and the two Oscars. You would never notice them; it’s not flaunted in any way. I don’t consider the Grammys to be an award—I couldn’t care less about those. And they look awful as well. They’re cheap.”
JENNIFER HUDSON
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- Dreamgirls(2007)
“I have an award wall in my house in Chicago, and I always said I would never reveal it until it was complete with the EGOT. So now it’s officially complete, and so I may reveal it. All around it is the Golden Globe and the BAFTA [British Academy Film and Television Arts] and the Critics Choice and the Grammys. And the Oscar sits in the middle.”
STEVEN SPIELBERG
BEST PICTURE AND BEST DIRECTOR - Schindler’s List(1994)
“They’re sitting on the mantelpiece above a fireplace in my home office. There’s three of them. And then right below them is the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. Those are the only awards I have at home. The rest of my honors are at the office at Amblin on the Universal Studios lot. But those are the only honors that I have at home.”
JANE FONDA
BEST ACTRESS -Klute(1972)
“While I was married to Tom Hayden, I wanted to play down the Hollywood part of me, so I didn’t have them on display anywhere. Then I married Ted Turner, and his office was wall-to-wall trophies. I thought, He can display every frigging one of his trophies—why the hell can’t I? Now I have them very prominently displayed on a bookcase in my living room. I love it when people want to touch them or pick them up. It’s really fun to watch.”
BARRY JENKINS
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY - Moonlight(2017)
“My statue is at the Academy Museum. Every now and then on social media, some kid will tag me in a photo. They’re at the museum and they’re so proud to take a selfie with the Oscar for Moonlight. That’s what it’s meant for, you know? If I can get one of these things, then they can too.”
