Hint: It's not where you expect.

As the nominees for the 2024 Academy Awards begin to prep to walk the Oscars 2024 red carpet later today in Los Angeles, we couldn't help but wonder: where do past Oscars winners store their iconic golden statuettes?
Since they began in 1929, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2021-oscars-red-carpet-statement-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Academy Awards</a> have been some of the most prestigious honors an actor could hope for. While the Oscar statuette looks great perched upon a fireplace mantle or inside a display case, many winners opt for more unconventional displays&mdash;some are even rumored to use their Oscar as a doorstop.
