Goldie Hawn's award for best supporting actress in the 1970 film Cactus Flower rests somewhere altogether more zen - in the "India Room" in which she likes to meditate. Hers isn't the only award to apparently emit good vibes- Russell Crowe's award for best actor, which he won for his role as the bang-on-trend, leather miniskirt clad Maximus Decimus Meridius in Ridley Scott's 2000 film Gladiator, is kept in a chicken coop on the actor's Australian ranch.
Crowe apparently thinks it helps the hens lay bigger eggs.
The parents of a number of stars have ended up with their Oscar-winning child's awards.
Angeline Jolie's late mum, for a number of years, had the best supporting actress award her daughter won for her role as the troubled Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted. Nicole Kidman's best actress Oscar for The Hours now sits on her parents' mantelpiece in Sydney, where neighbours apparently pass by for visits.
Hollywood's darling du jour, Jennifer Lawrence, keeps the award she won last year for her leading role in Silver Linings Playbook on top of her parents' piano at home in Kentucky.
Holly Hunter reportedly keeps her best actress award, which she won for her portrayal of Ada McGrath in the 1994 New Zealand film, The Piano, at the New York offices of Joel and Ethan Coen. It sits alongside the statue Frances McDormand won for her role as the heavily-pregnant local police chief with the insatiable appetite, Marge Gunderson, in the Coens' 1996 film Fargo.
