Two things happen after you win an Oscar: 1. Someone inevitably tries to sue you (we’ve heard from an Oscar-winner friend that this is legit a thing among winners); and 2. People constantly ask you where you keep the Oscar.
We don’t remember too many answers, except that of Danny Boyle, who said he kept his trophy in a shoebox under his bed. Most people probably have theirs on the mantlepiece, that seems pretty normal.
Jared Leto, though, keeps his newly-acquired golden statue among foodstuffs in the kitchen: ‘The Oscar is sitting in my kitchen, guarded by some vegan butter and a bag of popcorn. You know, they kind of end up in the kitchen because that's the first place that I go when I get home. You put your keys down and you take off your jacket… and you put your Oscar in the kitchen.’
Mind you, that Oscar is just lucky to be alive after a recent head-bashing it got, courtesy of its owner. Leto told ET Canada: ‘I was letting some of the people that I work with take a picture with the Oscar and I was carrying it down the stairs and, boom, I hit it against the stairs, the railing and I put a little nick in the back of it… so, you know, that’s how it goes. It’s already lived in, as they say.’
